قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ:

شَيَّعْنَا جُنْدُبًا إِلَى حِصْنِ الْمُكَاتَبِ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: أَوْصِنَا، فَقَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ، فَإِنَّهُ نُورُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ وَهَدْيُ النَّهَارِ، فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ وَفَاقَةٍ، فَإِنْ عَرَضَ بَلَاءٌ فَقَدِّمْ مَالَكَ دُونَ نَفْسِكَ، فَإِنْ تَجَاوَزَ الْبَلَاءُ فَقَدِّمْ مَالَكَ وَنَفْسَكَ دُونَ دِينِكَ ; فَإِنَّ الْمَحْرُومَ مَنْ حُرِمَ دِينَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْمَسْلُوبَ مَنْ سُلِبَ دِينَهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا غِنَى يُغْنِي بَعْدَهُ النَّارُ، وَلَا فَقْرَ يُفْقِرُ بَعْدَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، إِنَّ النَّارَ لَا يُفَكُّ أَسِيرُهَا، وَلَا يَسْتَغْنِي فَقِيرُهَا

✧ We accompanied Jundub to the fort of al-Mukātab, and we said to him: Counsel us. He said: Hold to the Qurʾān, for it is the light of the dark night and the guidance of the day; so act upon it despite hardship and poverty. If trial befalls you, then put forward your wealth before your life; and if the trial surpasses that, then put forward your wealth and your life before your religion. For the deprived is the one deprived of his religion, and the robbed is the one robbed of his religion. Verily, there is no wealth that avails after which comes the Fire, and no poverty that impoverishes after which comes Paradise. The Fire’s prisoner is never released, and its poor are never enriched.
