Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37800 — Reports on the virtue of remembering
٣٧٨٠٠ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر قال: حدثنا مسعر قال: حدثني ثعلبة عن عمرو بن شعيب عن عبد اللَّه بن عمرو بن العاص قال: لو أن رجلين (أقبل) (١) أحدهما من الشرق والآخر من المغرب، مع أحدهما ذهب لا (يضع) (٢) منه (شيئا) (٣) إلا في حق، والآخر يذكر اللَّه حتى يلتقيا في طريق لكان الذي يذكر اللَّه (أفضلهما) (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Suppose there are two men, one of them coming from the east and the other from the west. One of them has gold, which he comes spending in the rightful places, and the other keeps remembering Allah, until the two of them meet on the road. The better of the two will be the one who is remembering Allah.
