Ibn Ahmas, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I met Hazrat Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "I have heard that you narrate a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Do not ever think that I would falsely attribute something to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while I have heard it myself. Which hadith is it that you have heard from me?" I said, "I have heard that you say there are three types of people whom Allah loves, and three types of people whom Allah dislikes?" He said, "Yes! I have said this, and I have heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah loves?" He replied, "First, the person who meets the enemy with a group and stands firm before them until he is martyred or his companions are granted victory. Second, those people who set out on a journey, their journey becomes long, and they wish to camp in a place by evening, so they camp, and one of them separates himself and starts praying until, when it is time to depart, he wakes them up. Third, the person who has a neighbor who causes him harm, but he is patient over his neighbor's harm until death separates them." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah dislikes?" He replied, "The trader who swears oaths, the miser who boasts of his favors, and the poor person who is arrogant." I asked, "O Abu Dharr! What wealth do you have?" He replied, "A few goats and some camels." I said, "I am not asking about that, I am asking about gold and silver." He replied, "What is in the morning is not there in the evening, and what is in the evening is not there in the morning." I asked, "What is your relationship with your Qurayshi brothers?" He replied, "By Allah, I neither ask them for anything of this world nor about religion, and I will continue to do so until I meet Allah and His Messenger." He repeated this sentence three times.
