It is narrated from Zayd bin Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: 'Does your prayer command you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped, or that we should not do with our wealth as we please?' [Surah Hud: 87] , that he said: "Among the things he (Shu'ayb (peace be upon him)) used to forbid them was clipping dirhams (or he said: cutting the edges of dirhams)." And concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: 'So the punishment of the Day of the Canopy seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a tremendous Day' [Surah al-Shu'ara: 189] , he said: "A canopy of cloud was sent towards them, and Allah Almighty commanded the sun, and it produced intense heat upon the earth. They all came out towards that shade, until when they had all gathered there, Allah Almighty removed that shade from them and intensified the heat of the sun upon them, so they were scorched just as locusts are scorched in a frying pan."
