Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيَنْطَلِقُ أَحَدُنَا فَيُحَامِلُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْمُدِّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ الْيَوْمَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ قَالَ شَقِيقٌ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ.
English Translation
Abu Usama narrated to us: Za'ida narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Shaqiq, from Uqba ibn Amr Abu Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command charity, and one of us would go and carry loads for hire and bring back a mudd of grain, yet today some of them possess a hundred thousand. Shaqiq said: I saw that he was alluding to himself.
