879 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Abu Muʿāwiyah narrated to us; al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, from Abu ʿUbaydah, who said:
ʿAbd Allah went in to visit Mujammiʿ ibn Ḥārithah while he was ill. Inside his house he noticed canopies and a dark heap—that is, various household goods—so he said, “Lighten your load, for before long people will have to live simply,” meaning: they will go back to their camels.
٨٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مُجَمِّعِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ يَعُودُهُ، فَرَأَى فِي بَيْتِهِ أَبْنِيَةً وَسَوَادًا يَعْنِي الْمَتَاعَ - فَقَالَ: خَفِّفْ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَهْلًا يَعْنِي يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ "
