Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37416 — The words of Abu Dharr

It is narrated from Abu Bakr bin al-Munkadir that Sayyiduna Habib bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the ruler of Sham, sent three hundred dinars to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Use these to help with your needs. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Take them back. He has found no one more deceived concerning Allah than us. We have only a shade in which to shelter, a small flock of goats that comes back to us in the evening, and a freedwoman who gives us her service as charity. And even then I fear having more than that.
