Ahnaf bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I was participating in a gathering "in which some people from the Quraysh were also sitting" when a man came (he approached them and said: Glad tidings to those who accumulate wealth, of the branding that will be branded on their backs and will come out from their bellies, and of the branding that will be branded on the nape and will come out from their foreheads). Then he went away to one side. I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with your words? He said: Once my beloved friend Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: O Abu Dharr! I replied: At your service. He said: Do you see the mountain of Uhud? I raised my gaze and looked at the sun because I thought he would send me for some task, so I replied: I see it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not like that I should have gold equal to this mountain; I would spend all of it except for three dinars.
