- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Abu Muʿāwiyah narrated to us; ʿAmr ibn Maymūn narrated to us—from his father—on the authority of Umm al-Dardāʾ, who said:
Abu al-Dardāʾ said to me, “Do not ask people for anything.” I asked, “And if I find myself in need?” He replied, “If you become needy, follow behind the harvesters; look at whatever drops from them, collect it, grind it, and eat it—and do not ask people for anything.”
٧٦٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: لَا تَسْأَلِي النَّاسَ شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: فَإِنِ احْتَجْتُ؟ قَالَ: فَإِنِ احْتَجْتِ فَتَتَبَّعِي الْحَصَّادِينَ فَانْظُرِي مَا سَقَطَ مِنْهُمْ فَاخْبِطِيهِ ثُمَّ اطْحَنِيهِ ثُمَّ كُلِيهِ، وَلَا تَسْأَلِي النَّاسَ شَيْئًا "
