[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I requested from him the salt from Ma'rib. So he gave it to me and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is like counting water drops." He said, "In that case, no." 5734 Saeed ibn Amr informed us saying, Baqiyyah narrated to us, and Sufyan said, Ibn Abi Da'ad narrated to me from his father from the Prophet ﷺ with a similar narration, but Muhammad ibn Al-Mubarak disagreed with him.  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَقْطَعْتُهُ الْمِلْحَ الَّذِي بِمَأْرِبَ فَأَقْطَعَنِيهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ كَالْمَاءِ الْعِدِّ قَالَ «فَلَا إِذًا» 5734 أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبْيَضَ بْنِ حَمَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ خَالَفَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ
