English translation

[2307] 35 - (...) It was narrated that Al-Ahnaaf bin Qais said: "I was with a group of the Quraish when Abû Dharr passed by saying: 'Give tidings to the hoarders of a branding-iron on their backs that will come out from their sides, and a branding-iron at the back of their necks that will come out from their foreheads.' Then he went away and sat down. I said: 'Who is that?' They said: 'That is Abû Dharr.' I got up and went to him, and said: 'What did I hear you say just now?' He said: 'I did not say anything that I did not hear from their Prophet ﷺ.' I said: 'What do you say about this gift?' He said: 'Take it, for it is a help today, but if it is at the expense of your religious commitment, then leave it.'"

35 - (992) وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ، حَدَّثَنَا خُلَيْدٌ الْعَصَرِيُّ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَمَرَّ أَبُو ذَرٍّ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:: «بَشِّرِ الْكَانِزِينَ، بِكَيٍّ فِي ظُهُورِهِمْ، يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جُنُوبِهِمْ، وَبِكَيٍّ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَقْفَائِهِمْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جِبَاهِهِمْ»، قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَقَعَدَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ، قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: مَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ قُبَيْلُ؟ قَالَ: مَا قُلْتُ إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ؟ قَالَ: خُذْهُ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ الْيَوْمَ مَعُونَةً، فَإِذَا كَانَ ثَمَنًا لِدِينِكَ فَدَعْهُ
