Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to me, Isma'il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us from Abu Hayyan from Abu Zur'ah from Abu Hurayrah, who said:
One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood among us (to deliver a sermon). He talked about the misappropriation of booty, and declared it to be a serious matter and a grave sin. Then he said: I shouldn't find that any of you should come on the Day of Judgment with a growling camel mounted on his neck, and should appeal to me for help saying:" Messenger of Allah, help me." and I should say: I have no authority to help you; I already communicated to you. I shouldn't find that any of you should come on the Day of Judgment with a bleating ewe mounted on his neck, and he should say to me:" Messenger of Allah, help me," and I should say: I have no authority to help you; I conveyed to you. I shouldn't find that one of you should come on the Day of Judgment with a Person crying loudly mounted on his neck, and he should say to me:" Messenger of Allah, help me," and I should say: I have no authority to help you; I conveyed to you. I shouldn't find that any one of you should come on the Day of Judgment with fluttering clothes wrapped round his neck and he should say to me:" Messenger of Allah, help me," and I should say: I have no authority to help you; I conveyed to you. I shouldn't find that any of you should come on the Day of Judgment with a heap of gold and silver placed on his neck and he should say to me:" Messenger of Allah, help me." and I should say: I have no authority to help you; I already conveyed to you (the warning from the Almighty). قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْغُلُولَ، فَعَظَّمَهُ وَعَظَّمَ أَمْرَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ : لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ فَرَسٌ لَهُ حَمْحَمَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ: لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ شَاةٌ لَهَا ثُغَاءٌ، يَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ : لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ نَفْسٌ لَهَا صِيَاحٌ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ : لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ رِقَاعٌ تَخْفِقُ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ : لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ صَامِتٌ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ : لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ
Sahih Muslim 1831a
.

The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned in this hadith various types of wealth, including livestock, horses, and goods, as well as the "silent" wealth, which is gold and silver. A person who embezzles it will come on the Day of Resurrection with it on his neck, to be disgraced before the people, may Allah protect us from that. He will ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to help him, and he will say to him: I have no power to help you; I have conveyed the message to you. And whoever has been informed of the ruling has been presented with the proof.
