الكبرى للنسائي:٩٤٨٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَثَّ الثِّيَابِ فَقَالَ «أَلَكَ مَالٌ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ قَالَ «إِذَا آتَاكَ اللهُ مَالًا فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُهُ عَلَيْكَ»
