قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْيَحْصَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
إِنْ لَمْ تَغُلَّ أُمَّتِي لَمْ يَقْرَبْهُمْ عَدُوٌّ أَبَدًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ لِحَبِيبِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ: هَلْ ثَبَتَ لَكُمُ الْعَدُوُّ حَلْبَةَ شَاةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ وَثَلَاثِ شِيَاهٍ عُزُزٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ: غَلَلْتُمْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ

✧ If my Ummah does not misappropriate spoils, no enemy will ever approach them. Abu Dharr said to Habib b. Maslamah: "Did the enemy ever stand firm against you for even the milking of a sheep?" He said: "Yes, and for three tough sheep." Abu Dharr ؓ said: "You have misappropriated, by the Lord of the Ka'bah."
