حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، فَخَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ، فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ، قَالَ: فَفَضَلَ مَعَهَا سَبْعٌ، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهِ فُلُوسًا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: لَوْ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةٍ تَنُوبُكَ، أَوْ لِلضَّيْفِ، ، يَنْزِلُ بِكَ. قَالَ: إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ " أَنْ أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " (١)،

Abdullah bin Samit says that once he was with Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when his stipend arrived. He had a slave girl with him who began to arrange his necessities with that money. She had seven coins left. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered her to exchange his money (to get change). I said to him, "If you had saved this money, it could have been useful in some need or when a guest arrived." He replied, "My beloved Prophet (ﷺ) advised me that any gold or silver that is sealed and kept is a spark of fire for its owner until he spends it in the way of Allah."
