[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, we have lived in this house for a long time, and we have become numerous. Our good manners have deteriorated, and our wealth has increased, leading us to poverty. Should we move away from it, even though it is spacious?" The Prophet replied, "You can either sell it or give it away." Abu Sulaiman Al-Khattabi said, based on what I have heard, it is likely that he ordered them to leave it in order to nullify the false sense of attachment they had towards it. Once they moved away, the attachment to material possessions would be severed. And Allah knows best."
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَكَنَّا دَارَنَا هَذِهِ وَنَحْنُ كَثِيرٌ فَهَلَكْنَا وَحَسَنٌ ذَاتُ بَيْنِنَا فَسَاءَتْ أَخْلَاقُنَا وَكَثُرَتْ أَمْوَالُنَا فَافْتَقَرْنَا فَقَالَ أَفَلَا تَنْتَقِلُونَ عَنْهَا ذَمِيمَةً قَالَتْ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ تَبِيعُونَهَا أَوْ تَهَبُونَهَا هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ قَالَ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي عَنْهُ يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِتَرْكِهَا إِبْطَالًا لِمَا وَقَعَ فِي نُفُوسِهِمْ فَإِذَا تَحَوَّلُوا عَنْهَا انْقَطَعَ مَادَّةُ ذَلِكَ الْوَهْمِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
