Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28320 — Reports on avarice

Urwah says: I saw Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) calling out from his tall building: "Whoever loves fat and meat, let him come to Sa'd bin Ubadah." The narrator says: Then after that I saw his son making the same call. And in the days of my youth I was walking on a road of Madinah when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by me, going to his land in al-Aliyah. He said: "O young man, look and see whether anyone is calling out from the tall building of Sa'd bin Ubadah." I looked and said: "No." He said: "You have spoken the truth."
