بُرَيْدٌ لِمُحَمَّدٍ سَلْ لِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ شَيْءٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ إِنَّ لِلنَّاسِ فِي يَدِي وَدَائِعَ وَ أَمْوَالًا وَ أَنَا أَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهَا وَ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَخَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَدْفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ قَالَ فَسَأَلَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ خَبَّرَهُ بِالْقِصَّةِ وَ قَالَ مَا تَرَى لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَ يَبْدَأُ نَفْسَهُ بِالْحَرَبِ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يَأْخُذُ وَ يُعْطِي عَلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Al Hajjal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, and he was the in-law of Bureyd Al Ijaly. Bureyd said to Muhammad, ‘Ask Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> for me about something. I want to do such that the deposits and the wealth which I hold for the people, and I keep turning in these, and I have intended that I shall empty myself from the world and hand over to each one with his right, (from the) rights (I have with me)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Muhammad asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about that, and informed him<sup>asws</sup> of the story and said, ‘What do you<sup>asws</sup> see for him?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Muhammad! Has he initiated the war against himself. No! But, he should take and give, upon Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Majestic is His<sup>azwj</sup> Name’.
