A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.And Ali bin Muhammad bin Ali informed me, he said Khalaf bin Tamim narrated to us, he said Abu Ahwas narrated to us, he said Simak bin Harb narrated to us from Qabus bin Mukhariq from his father, who said, and I heard Sufyan Thawri relating this hadith, he said, A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Someone comes to me intending to take my wealth."The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Remind him of Allah."The man said, "What if he does not heed the reminder?"He said, "Then seek help against him from the Muslims around you."The man said, "What if there are no Muslims around me?"He said, "Then seek help against him from the authorities."The man said, "What if the authorities are far from me?"He said, "Then fight in defense of your wealth until you are among the martyrs of the Hereafter, or you protect your wealth."
