Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata, "If a villager wishes, can he give a hundred camels, or two hundred cows, or two thousand goats, and not give gold?" He replied, "If he wishes, he may give camels and not give gold." Ibn Jurayj said: Ata said, "It used to be said: 'Camels are upon those who own camels, cows upon those who own cows, and goats upon those who own goats.'"
