3073. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ got up amongst us and mentioned Al-Ghulūl, emphasized its magnitude and declared that it was a great sin saying, “Don’t commit Ghulūl, for I should not like to see anyone amongst you on the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating, or carrying over his neck a horse that will be neighing. Such a man will be saying: ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Intercede with Allāh for me’, and I will reply, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allāh’s Message to you.’ Nor should I like to see a man carrying over his neck, a camel that will be grunting. Such a man will say, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Intercede with Allāh for me’, and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allāh’s Message to you,’ or one carrying over his neck gold and silver and saying, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Intercede with Allāh for me, and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allāh’s Message to you,’ or one carrying clothes that will be fluttering, and the man will say, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Intercede with Allāh for me’. And I will say, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allāh’s Message to you.’”

3073 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَامَ فِينَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ الغُلُولَ فَعَظَّمَهُ وَعَظَّمَ أَمْرَهُ، قَالَ: " لاَ أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ شَاةٌ لَهَا ثُغَاءٌ، عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ فَرَسٌ لَهُ حَمْحَمَةٌ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ: لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، وَعَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ: لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، وَعَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ صَامِتٌ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ، أَوْ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ رِقَاعٌ تَخْفِقُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغِثْنِي، فَأَقُولُ: لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكَ " وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ: عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ: فَرَسٌ لَهُ حَمْحَمَةٌ
