[Machine] The giving of Salman, may Allah have mercy on him, was five thousand dirhams. He was the leader of nearly thirty thousand Muslims, and he used to address the people while wearing a garment, part of which he used as a mattress to sleep on and the other part he wore. When his giving was exhausted, he would spend from the earnings of his hands and eat from what his hands earned.
كَانَ عَطَاءُ سَلْمَانَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ خَمْسَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَكَانَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى زُهَاءِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَفْتَرِشُ بَعْضَهَا وَيَلْبَسُ بَعْضَهَا فَإِذَا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ أَمْضَاهُ وَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَفِيفِ يَدَيْهِ
