1848 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to me; Aswad ibn ʿAmir Shadhan informed us; Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah narrated to us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abu al-Sawwar, who said:

Hakam ibn Ayyub once delivered a sermon in which he went on at length about zuhd (ascetic renunciation). Abu al-Sawwar commented, “He is urging the people to renounce the world while he himself owns thirty thousand.”
