It is narrated from Abu Dhubyan that he said: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: O Abu Dhubyan! How much is your stipend? I said: Two and a half thousand. He said: O Abu Dhubyan! Engage in agriculture and animal breeding before the youths of Quraysh become your rulers; in their time, the stipend will not be considered wealth.
