[Machine] "This is the statement of the rulers of the Makkans, their religious scholars, and their argument in consensus, that a Muslim man and al-Qaddah informed me, from Ibn Jurayj, from Ikrimah ibn Khalid, that Abdul Rahman ibn Auf saw a group of people swearing oaths between the Maqam and the House (Kaaba). He said, 'Is the bloodshed greater?' They replied, 'No.' He said, 'Is there a huge amount of wealth involved?' They said, 'No.' He said, 'I feared that people would find joy in this place.' Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'So they concluded that the huge amount of wealth does not exceed twenty dinars.' Malik said, 'He swore an oath on the pulpit for a quarter of a dinar.' The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'His statement, 'people would find joy,' means that they would become attached to it and its awe would disappear from their hearts.' Abu Ubaid said, 'It is said to delight in something when you become attached to it.'"
