حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ وُهْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ عِنْدَ وُلَاةٍ يَسْتَأْثِرُونَ عَلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الْفَيْءِ قَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَضَعُ سَيْفِي عَلَى عَاتِقِي فَأَضْرِبُ بِهِ حَتَّى أَلْحَقَكَ قَالَ أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ تَصْبِرُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي.
English Translation
Abdullah told us: my father told me: Abu Ja'far Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ayyub told us: Abu Bakr — meaning Ibn Ayyash — told us, from Mutarrif, from Abu al-Jahm, from Khalid ibn Wuhban, from Abu Dharr, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Abu Dharr, how will you be with rulers who monopolize this booty over you?" He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, I will place my sword on my shoulder and strike with it until I join you." He said: "Shall I not direct you to something better for you than that? You should be patient until you meet me."
