Abu Dharr reported: I walked with the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) on the stony ground of Medina in the afternoon and we were looking at Uhud. The Messenger of Allaah (way peace by upon him) said: Abu Dharr! I said: Messenger of Allaah, I am here at thy beck and call. He said: What I desire is that Uhud be gold with me and three nights should pass and there is left with me any dinar but one coin which I would keep to pay debt. (I love) to spend it among the servants of Allaah like this and he pointed in front of him, and on his right side and on his left side. We then proceeded on and he said: Abu Dharr. I said: At thy beck and call, Messenger of Allaah. He (the Prophet) said: The rich would be poor on the Day of Resurrection, but he who spent like this and like this and like this, and he pointed as at the first time. We again went on when he said. Abu Dharr, stay where you are till I come back to you. He (the Prophet) then moved on till he disappeared from my sight He (Abu Dharr) said: I heard a sound and I heard a noise. I said (to myself): The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) might have met (mishap or an enemy). I wished to follow him but I remembered his command for not departing till he would come back. So I waited for him, and when he came I made a mention of what I heard. He said: it was Gabriel, who came to me and said:" He who dies among your Ummah without associating Anything with Allaah would enter Paradise. I said: Even if he committed fornication or theft? He said: Even if he committed fornication or theft. |
