It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "You give birth for death and build for ruin; you are greedy for what will perish and you neglect what will remain. Behold! How good and welcome for you are these three things: death, illness and poverty."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Abu Nu'aym narrated it in Hilyat al-Awliya' in the biography of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), through Abdullah bin Wahb, from Yahya bin Ayyub, from Ubaydullah bin Zahr, that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and then he mentioned the full narration, but at its end he reported these words: "Behold! How excellent are the two disliked things, namely death and poverty," and he did not mention any intermediary in this chain between Ubaydullah and Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).
