Sayyiduna Abu Bakr bin Abi Maryam (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) had a slave girl who used to sell milk, and the money that was obtained, Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) would take. Someone said to him: Subhan Allah! She sells the milk and you take the money? He replied: Yes! So what is wrong in that? I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that a time will come upon the people in which nothing will benefit except dinar and dirham.
