I was among a group from Quraysh when Abu Dharr passed by, saying, "Give tidings to those who hoard their wealth of a branding on their backs that will come out through their sides, and a branding from behind their necks that will come out through their foreheads."Then he stepped aside and sat down.I asked, "Who is this?"They replied, "This is Abu Dharr."So I rose and went to him and said, "What was that I just heard you saying?"He replied, "I said nothing except what I heard from their Prophet ﷺ."I asked, "What do you say about this stipend?"He answered, "Take it, for today there is help in it. But when it becomes a price for your religion, leave it."
