ahmad:21412Wakīʿ > al-Aʿmash > al-Maʿrūr b. Sūwayd > Abū Dhar

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was sitting in the shade of the Kaaba and said, "So I approached and when he saw me he said, 'They are the losers, by the Lord of the Kaaba.' So I sat and did not feel comfortable approaching him, so I said, 'Who are they, for the sake of my father and mother?' He said, 'They are the majority, except for those who give in this way and that way and that way, and they are few.'"  

أحمد:٢١٤١٢حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَجَلَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي؟ قَالَ هُمُ الْأَكْثَرُونَ مَالًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting in the shade of the Kaaba. When he saw me, he said, "They are the ones who will lose." By the Lord of the Kaaba, I approached until I sat down, feeling hesitant to stand up. So I said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, who are they?" He said, "They are those who have the most wealth, except for those who say, 'This and that and that' from what is in front of them, behind them, to their right, and to their left, and they are few."
