أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ مِنْ حَطَبٍ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ مَطَرٌ وَدُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ: قَدْ كَانَ لَكَ عَنْ هَذَا مَنْدُوحَةٌ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَكُفِيتَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: وَهَذَا عَيْشِي، فَإِنْ رَضِيتِ وَإِلَّا فَتَحْتِ كَنَفَ اللهِ "، قَالَ: فَكَأَنَّمَا أَلْقَمَهَا حَجَرًا، حَتَّى إِذَا نَضَجَ مَا فِي قِدْرِهِ، جَاءَ بِصَحْفَةٍ لَهُ، فَكَسَرَ فِيهَا خُبْزَةً لَهُ غَلِيظَةً، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِالَّذِي فِي الْقِدْرِ فَكَدَرَهُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: " ادْنُ " فَأَكَلْنَا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ جَارِيَتَهُ أَنْ تَسْقِيَنَا فَسَقَتْنَا مَذْقَةً مِنْ لَبَنِ مَعْزٍ لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ فِي بَيْتِكَ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ: " يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، أَتُرِيدُ لِي مِنَ الْحِسَابِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ؟ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مِثَالٌ نَفْتَرِشُهُ، وَعَبَاءَةٌ نَبْتَسِطُهَا، وَكِسَاءٌ نَلْبَسُهُ، وَبُرْمَةٌ نَطْبُخُ فِيهَا، وَصَحْفَةٌ نَأْكُلُ فِيهَا، وَنَغْسِلُ فِيهَا رُءُوسَنَا، وَقَدَحٌ نَشْرَبُ فِيهِ، وَعُكَّةٌ فِيهَا زَيْتٌ أَوْ سَمْنٌ، وَغِرَارَةٌ فِيهَا دَقِيقٌ ؟ فَتُرِيدُ لِي مِنَ الْحِسَابِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ؟ " قُلْتُ: فَأَيْنَ عَطَاؤُكَ أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ ؟ وَأَنْتَ فِي شَرَفٍ مِنَ الْعَطَاءِ، فَأَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَمَا إِنِّي لَنْ أُعَمِّيَ عَلَيْكَ، لِي فِي هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ فَرَسًا، فَإِذَا خَرَجَ عَطَائِي اشْتَرَيْتُ لَهَا عَلَفًا، وَأَرْزَاقًا لِمَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهَا، وَنَفَقَةً لِأَهْلِي، فَإِنْ بَقِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ اشْتَرَيْتُ بِهِ فُلُوسًا، فَجَعَلْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَبَطِيٍّ هَاهُنَا، فَإِنِ احْتَاجَ أَهْلِي إِلَى لَحْمٍ أَخَذُوا مِنْهُ، وَإِنِ احْتَاجُوا إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَخَذُوا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَهَذَا سَبِيلُ عَطَائِي، لَيْسَ عِنْدَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ دِينَارٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ

"That he entered upon Abu Dharr while he was blowing on a fire under a pot of wood that had been rained on, and his tears were flowing. His wife said: 'You had an alternative to this, if you wished, you would have been provided for.' Abu Dharr said: 'This is my life. If you are content, (good); otherwise, you may go under the protection of Allah.' He said: So it was as if she had fed her a stone. When what was in the pot was cooked, he brought a bowl of his, broke into it a thick loaf of his, then brought what was in the pot and poured it over it, then brought it to his wife. Then he said to me: 'Come closer.' So we ate. Then he ordered his slave girl to give us to drink, and she gave us a mixture of milk from his goat. I said: 'O Abu Dharr, if only you had acquired something for your house.' He said: "O servant of Allah, do you want for me more of an account than this? Is this not a mat we spread out, a cloak we lay down, a garment we wear, a pot we cook in, a bowl we eat from and wash our heads in, a cup we drink from, a jar in which there is oil or ghee, and a sack in which there is flour? So do you want for me more of an account than this?" I said: 'Then where is your stipend of four hundred dinars? And you are in a position of honor for the stipend, so where does it go?' He said: "As for me, I will not hide it from you. In this village I have thirty horses. When my stipend comes out, I buy fodder for them, and provisions for those who take care of them, and sustenance for my family. If anything remains of it, I buy young camels with it and leave them with a Nabataean here. If my family needs meat, they take from it, and if they need anything else, they take from it. Then I ride them in the way of Allah. This is the path of my stipend. Abu Dharr does not have a dinar or a dirham."
