ahmad-zuhd:2053ʿAbdullāh from my father > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > Mālik b. al-Ḥārith > ʿAbdullāh b. Rabīʿah > ʿUtbah b. Farqad Liʿabd Allāh b. Rabīʿah Yā ʿAbdullāh Alā Tuʿīnunī > Ibn Akhīk Yuʿīnunī > Mā > Fīh from ʿAmalī

[Machine] "Abdullah, O 'Amr, obey your father." So, he looked at a shoulder while he was sitting with them. Then he said to him, "Do not obey them, and perform sujud and approach. Why did A'mash not perform sujud?" 'Amr said, "O father, I am a slave working to free myself." He [Abdullah] said, "Then 'Utbah wept and said, 'O my son, I love you with two loves - the love of Allah and the love of a parent for his child.'" 'Amr said, "O father, if you had come to me with wealth that reached seventy thousand, and if you were asking me about it, it is here - take it. Otherwise, leave me to spend it." So he spent it until not even a single dirham remained."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٥٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تُعِينُنِي عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيكَ يُعِينُنِي عَلَى مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ عَمَلِي؟ فَقَالَ

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَا عَمْرُو أَطِعْ أَبَاكَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى مِعْضَدٍ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَا تُطِعْهُمْ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ وَلِمَ لَمْ يَسْجُدِ الْأَعْمَشُ؟ قَالَ عَمْرٌو يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّمَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ أَعْمَلُ فِي فِكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي قَالَ فَبَكَى عُتْبَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ حُبَّيْنِ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَحُبَّ الْوَالِدِ وَلَدَهُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ أَتَيْتَنِي بِمَالٍ قَدْ بَلَغَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا فَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلِي عَنْهُ فَهُوَ ذَا فَخُذْهُ وَإِلَّا فَدَعْنِي فَأُمْضِيَهُ قَالَ فَأَمْضَاهَا حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمٌ
