Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah and saying, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah, they are the most ruined ones! By the Lord of the Ka'bah, they are the most ruined ones!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is my condition? Have you seen anything (bad) in me? What is my condition?" Then I sat down beside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept on saying this. I could not make him stop, and by Allah's will, a strange restlessness overtook me. I again said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Who are they?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "They are those who have much wealth, except those who spend it like this and like that (i.e., generously on the right and the left, on the deserving, in the way of Allah)."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I came close to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and he was saying: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul," or (he swore) "By Him besides Whom there is no deity," or with whatever words he swore (after this emphasis he said): "There is no person who has camels, cows, or goats and does not pay their due right, but on the Day of Resurrection that (animal) will be brought, made larger and fatter than in the world, then it will trample its owner with its hooves and gore him with its horns. When the last animal passes over him, the first will return to him (and trample and gore him again). This will continue until the people's judgment is settled."
