أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ سَهْمٍ قَالَ
نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هَاشِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَهُوَ مَطْعُونٌ فَأَتَاهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعُودُهُ فَبَكَى أَبُو هَاشِمٍ فقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَيْ خَالِ؟ أَوَجَعٌ أَمْ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا؟ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ صَفْوُهَا فقَالَ عَلَى كُلٍّ لَا وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَبِعْتُهُ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ أَمْوَالًا تُقَسَّمُ بَيْنَ أَقْوَامٍ وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» فَأَدْرَكْتُ وَجَمَعْتُ

✧ I stayed with Abu Hashim b. 'Utbah b. Rabi'ah while he was ill with plague. Mu'awiyah came to visit him, and Abu Hashim wept. Mu'awiyah said, "What makes you weep, O uncle? Is it pain, or is it over this world? Its clear enjoyment has departed." He said, "Not over any of that. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me a charge, and I wish I had followed it. He said: 'Perhaps you will attain wealth that is distributed among people, and it will suffice you from that a servant and a mount in the way of Allah.' I attained it and gathered [wealth]."
