[Machine] I reached the village and found myself with Abu Dhar, who had met me with the provisions he had collected and distributed. He had tied a camel with a rope around its neck so that it could drink and provide water for its companions. He had a noble character, one of the noble qualities of the Arabs. I said to him, "What is wrong with you, Abu Dhar?" He replied, "It is my job." I said, "Yes, Abu Dhar, but haven't you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever spends on two wives from his wealth, the gates of Jannah will be open for him.'" We asked, "Who are these two wives?" He said, "If they are men, then they are two men. If they are horses, then they are two horses. If they are camels, then they are two camels. Until all categories of wealth are counted." I said, "O Abu Dhar, have you not heard anything else from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'There are no two Muslims who lose three children before they reach the age of puberty, except that Allah will admit them to Jannah by His mercy for those children.'"
