[Machine] I was in the city when suddenly I saw a man that people were fleeing from when they saw him. So I asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Abu Dharr, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." I asked, "Why do people flee from you?" He said, "They flee from me because I prohibit them from the treasures that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited them from." I said, "But today, our possessions have increased and reached a high value. Do you fear for us anything?" He said, "Not today, but it is likely that they will become the price of your religion. So if they become the price of your religion, then leave them and be cautious."  

كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ يَفِرُّ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ حِينَ يَرَوْنَهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِمَا يَفِرُّ النَّاسُ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ «أَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْكُنُوزِ بِالَّذِي كَانَ يَنْهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ أُعْطِيَاتِنَا قَدِ ارْتَفَعَتِ الْيَوْمَ وَبَلَغَتْ هَلْ تَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ أَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلَا وَلَكِنَّهَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَثْمَانُ دِينِكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ أَثْمَانَ دِينِكُمْ فَدَعُوهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ
