حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَامِتٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ، وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ، فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: تَقْضِي، (٢) قَالَ: فَفَضَلَ مَعَهُ فَضْلٌ، قَالَ: أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: سَبْعٌ، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهَا فُلُوسًا، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَوِ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَنُوبُكَ، وَلِلضَّيْفِ يَأْتِيكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ " أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ إِفْرَاغًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ " (٣)، ،

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."
