The reader: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted: "And from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

I was walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the volcanic area of Madinah when we came upon Mount Uhud. He said: 'O Abu Dharr!' I said: 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'I would not be pleased to have a mountain like Uhud in gold, and three days pass over me with a single dinar remaining from it, except for what I set aside as a debt, or what I spend among the servants of Allah, like this, and this, on his right, on his left, and behind him.' Then he continued walking and said: 'The most numerous will be the least on the Day of Resurrection, except for one who spends his wealth like this, and this, on his right, on his left, and behind him, and they are few.' Then he said to me: 'Stay in your place and do not move until I come to you.' Then he departed into the darkness of the night until he was out of sight. I heard a voice raised in the air, and I feared that something had happened to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I wanted to go to him, but I remembered his saying: 'Do not move until I come to you,' so I did not move until he came to me. I said: 'I heard a voice that I feared.' I mentioned it to him, and he said: 'Did you hear it?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'That was Jibril who came to me and said: "Whoever dies from your Ummah not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." I said: "Even if he commits zina and steals?" He said: "Even if he commits zina and steals."'

كنت أمشي مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حرة بالمدينة فاستقبلنا أحد فقال: يا أبا ذر! قلت: لبيك يا رسول الله، فقال: ما يسرني أن عندي مثل أحد هذا ذهباً تمضي علي ثلاثة أيام وعندي منه دينار إلا شيء أرصده لدين، إلا أن أقول به في عباد الله هكذا وهكذا عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه، ثم سار فقال: إن الأكثرين هم المقلون يوم القيامة إلا من قال بالمال هكذا وهكذا، عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه، وقليل ما هم، ثم قال لي: مكانك لا تبرح حتى آتيك، ثم انطلق في سواد الليل حتى توارى، فسمعت صوتا قد ارتفع، فتخوفت أن يكون أحد عرض للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأردتُ أن آتيه، فذكرت قوله: لا تبرح حتى آتيك، فلم أبرح حتى أتاني، فقلت: لقد سمعت صوتا تخوفت منه، فذكرت له فقال: وهل سمعته؟ قلت: نعم، قال: ذاك جبريل أتاني، فقال: من مات من أمتك لا يشرك بالله شيئا دخل الجنة، قلت: وإن زنى وإن سرق؟ قال: وإن زنى وإن سرق

And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, it would not please me that anything of it should remain with me after three nights (i.e., I would spend all of it in Allah's Cause) except what I would keep for repaying debts.

And from him (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

And from him (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:

I saw seventy of As-Suffa men and none of them had a Rida' (a garment covering the upper part of the body). They had either Izars (only) or sheets which they tied round their necks. Some of these sheets reached the middle of their legs and some reached their heels and they used to gather them with their hands lest their private parts should become naked.

لقد رأيت سبعين من أهل الصفة ما منهم رجل عليه رداء، إما إزار وإما كساء، قد ربطوا في أعناقهم، فمنها ما يبلغ نصف الساقين ومنها ما يبلغ الكعبين، فيجمعه بيده كراهية أن ترى عورته
