[4734] 24 - (1831) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up amongst us one day and mentioned Ghulûl (theft from the war spoils of war). He declared it to be an extremely serious matter, then he said: ‘I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with a groaning camel on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.” I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with a neighing horse on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.” I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with a bleating sheep on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.” “I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with a person crying loudly on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.” I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with flapping clothes on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.” I should not see one of you coming on the Day of Resurrection with a heap of gold and silver on his shoulders, saying: “O Messenger of Allâh, help me!” I will say: “I cannot do anything for you. I conveyed (the message) to you.”
