Hadith 281
أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: زَعَمَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي أُحُدًا ذَهَبًا تَأْتِي عَلَيَّ ثَالِثَةٌ وَعِنْدي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ.
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not like that I should have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud and then three days pass while even a single dinar from it remains with me, except that which I keep for the repayment of a debt."
