" You are a person having the remnants of Ignorance in him." (these words also occur, that Abu Dharr) said: Even up to this time of my old age? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. In the tradition transmitted on the authority of Abu Mu'awiya (the words are):" Yes, in this time of your old age." In the tradition transmitted on the authority of 'Isa (the words are):" If you burden him (with an unbearable burden), you should sell him (and get another slave who can easily undertake this burden)." In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhair (the words are):" Help him in that (work)." In the hadith transmitted by Abu Mu'awiya (separately) there is no such word: Then sell him or help him." This hadith concludes with these words:" Do not burden him beyond his capacity."

Ibrāhīm narrated to us: ʿĪsā b. Yūnus informed us. All of them from al-Aʿmash, with this chain of transmission. And in the narration of Zuhayr and Abū Muʿāwiyah, after his saying "You are a man in whom there is jāhiliyyah (ignorance)", he added: I said, "Even now, at this time of my life, in my old age?" He said, "Yes." And in the narration of Abū Muʿāwiyah: "Yes, in the state of your present time, in old age." And in the narration of ʿĪsā: "If he burdens him with what overcomes him, let him sell him." And in the narration of Zuhayr: "Let him help him with it." And in the narration of Abū Muʿāwiyah there is neither "let him sell him" nor "let him help him." It ends at his saying "and let him not burden him with what overcomes him."
