1478 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; Hisham informed us, from al-Hasan, who said:
“By Allah, I met people who—had any one of them wished to take this money from a lawful source—could have done so. Yet it would be said to them, ‘Will you not come and take your share of this wealth, taking it lawfully?’ They would reply, ‘No. We fear that taking it may bring corruption to our hearts.’”
١٤٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَقْوَامًا لَوْ شَاءَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ هَذَا الْمَالَ مِنْ حِلِّهِ أَخَذَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَلَا تَأْتُونَ نُصِيبُكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ فَتَأْخُذُونَهُ حَلَالًا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا، إِنَّا لَنَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخْذُهُ فَسَادًا لِقُلُوبِنَا "
