Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from a man from the people of Sabata who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said to Ammar Al-Sabaty: ‘O Ammar! You are a lord of a lot of wealth?’ He said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. He^asws said: ‘So do you pay what Allah^azwj has Imposed upon you, from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>?’ So he said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So you do take out the ‘known right’ from your wealth?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So you do help your relatives?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘And you do help your brothers’. He said, ‘Yes’. So he^asws said: ‘O Ammar! The wealth perishes, and the body wears out, and the deeds remain, and the Judge (Allah^azwj) is Living and will not be dying. O Ammar! Whatever you send forward, so it will never preceded you (leave you behind), and whatever you delay (not perform), so it will never join you’.
