[Machine] Salman accompanied a man from the tribe of Bani Abs in order to learn from him. He said, "He was unable to surpass him in his work. If he kneaded dough or watered the livestock, he prepared food for the animals." Salman said to him, "Rest and drink." He replied, "I am satisfied." Salman asked, "How much do you think you have decreased from this?" He replied, "I do not expect to have decreased from it." Salman said, "Indeed, knowledge is the same; you take from it and do not decrease it." He said, "There is no decrease or increase in it, so take what benefits you." They then came to a river called Dinn, and it was full of wheat and barley. Salman said, "O brothers of Bani Abs, do you not see the one who opened these treasures for us? Muhammad, ﷺ , saw it while it was alive." They replied, "Yes." He said, "By the One whom there is no god besides, we used to sleep and wake up without having any wheat." He continued on until they reached Jalula and spoke of what Allah had opened for them there, of gold and silver. Salman said, "O brothers of Bani Abs, do you not see the one who opened these treasures for us? Muhammad, ﷺ , saw it while it was alive." They replied, "Yes." He said, "By the One whom there is no god besides, they used to sleep and wake up without having a dinar or dirham among them."
