While I was in the company of the (elites) of Quraiah, Abu Dharr came there and he was saying: Give glad tidings to the hoarders of riches that their backs would be branded (so deeply) that (the hot Iron) would come out of their sides, and when the backs of their necks would be branded, it would come out of their foreheads. He (Abu Dharr) then went away and sat down. I asked who he was. They said: He is Abu Dharr. I went to him and said to him: What is this that I heard from you which you were saying before? He said: I said nothing but only that which I heard from their Prophet ﷺ. I again said: What do you say about this gift? He said: Take it, for today it is a help. But when it becomes a price for your religion, then abandon it. (Using translation from Muslim 992b)   

كُنْتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَمَرَّ أَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ بَشِّرِ الْكَنَّازِينَ بِكَيٍّ فِي ظُهُورِهِمْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَبِكَيٍّ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَقْفِيَتِهِمْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جِبَاهِهِمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَقَعَدَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ قَبْلُ؟ قَالَ مَا قُلْتُ إِلَّا شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ؟ قَالَ خُذْهُ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ الْيَوْمَ مَعُونَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ ثَمَنًا لِدِينِكَ فَدَعْهُ  

Sulaym ibn Mutayr reported on the authority of his father that Mutayr went away to perform hajj. When he reached as-Suwaida', a man suddenly came searching for medicine and ammonium anthorhizum extract, and he said: A man who heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressing the people commanding and prohibiting them, told me that he said: O people, accept presents so long as they remain presents; but when the Quraysh quarrel about the rule, and the presents are given for the religion of one of you, then leave them alone. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Ibn al-Mubarak from Muhammad b. Yasar from Sulaim b. Mutair. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2958)   

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالسُّوَيْدَاءِ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ جَاءَ كَأَنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ دَوَاءً أَوْ حُضَضًا فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُ النَّاسَ وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ خُذُوا الْعَطَاءَ مَا كَانَ عَطَاءً فَإِذَا تَجَاحَفَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ وَكَانَ عَنْ دِينِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَدَعُوهُ  

Mutayr said: I heard a man say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Farewell Pilgrimage. He was commanding and prohibiting them (the people). He said: O Allah, did I give full information? They said: Yes. He said: When the Quraysh quarrel about the rule among themselves, and the presents become bribery, them leave them. The people were asked: Who was he (who narrated this tradition)? They said: This was Dhul-Zawa'id, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2959)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ وَنَهَاهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ قَالُوا اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا تَجَاحَفَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهَا وَعَادَ الْعَطَاءُ رِشَاءً فَدَعُوهُ فَقِيلَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذَا ذُو الزَّوَائِدِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
