It is narrated from Malik bin Abdullah, may Allah have mercy on him, that once Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari, may Allah be pleased with him, came to Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, seeking permission to enter. He granted him permission. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, had a staff in his hand. Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, asked Sayyiduna Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him: O Ka'b! Abdur Rahman has passed away and left wealth in his inheritance. What is your opinion regarding this matter? He said: If he used to fulfill the rights of Allah through it, then there is no harm. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari, may Allah be pleased with him, began to strike him with his staff and said: I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: If I had gold equal to this mountain, I would not like to leave behind even six uqiyah of it; I would spend it so that it would be accepted. O Uthman! I ask you by Allah, did you also hear this statement? He replied: Yes.
