"Mu'awiyah came to Abu Hashim bin 'Uthbah to visit him when he was ill (and dying). He said: 'O Uncle! Why do you cry? Is it from the pangs of death or desire for this world?' He said: 'Neither of these. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commissioned me with an obligation that I did not abide by. He ﷺ said: "It suffices you to gather the wealth of a servant or a rider in the cause of Allah." And (it is only) today I find that I have gathered it.'"  

يَا خَالُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَوَجَعٌ يُشْئِزُكَ أَمْ حِرْصٌ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ كُلٌّ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ عَهْدًا لَمْ آخُذْ بِهِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْمَالِ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَجِدُنِي الْيَوْمَ قَدْ جَمَعْتُ  

“We stopped with Abu Hashim bin ‘Utbah, who had been stabbed, and Mu’awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept and Mu’awiyah said to him: ‘Why are you weeping, O maternal uncle? Is there some pain bothering you, or is it because of this world, the best of which has already passed?’ He said: ‘It is not for any of these reasons. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me some advice and I wish that I had followed it. He ﷺ said: “There may come a time when you will see wealth divided among the people, and all you will need of that is a servant and a mount to ride in the cause of Allah.” That time came, but I accumulated wealth.’”  

مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَىْ خَالِ أَوَجَعٌ يُشْئِزُكَ أَمْ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ صَفْوُهَا قَالَ عَلَى كُلٍّ لاَ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ عَهْدًا وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَبِعْتُهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَمْوَالاً تُقْسَمُ بَيْنَ أَقْوَامٍ وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَدْرَكْتُ فَجَمَعْتُ

[Machine] Muawiyah visited his uncle, Abu Hashim bin Utbah, to check on him, and he found him crying. Muawiyah asked him, "What makes you cry, uncle? Is it because of pain that distresses you or is it a desire for the worldly life?" Abu Hashim replied, "Neither. But the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) advised us and said, 'O Abu Hashim, maybe you will witness a time when wealth is given to people, but what suffices you from accumulating wealth is a servant and a mount in the way of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.' And I see that I have gathered..."  

قَالَ دَخَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى خَالِهِ أَبِي هَاشِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ فَبَكَى قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا خَالُ؟ أَوَجَعًا يُشْئِزُكَ أَمْ حِرْصًا عَلَى الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَكُلًّا لَا وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هَاشِمٍ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ أَمْوَالًا يُؤْتَاهَا أَقْوَامٌ وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْمَالِ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَإِنِّي أُرَانِي قَدْ جَمَعْتُ  

[Machine] "O uncle, what makes you cry? Is it pain or sadness over this worldly life?" He replied, "No, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a covenant with me that I have not fulfilled. He said to me, 'O Abu Hashim, wealth will come to you from people.'" Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the summary.  

يَا خَالُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ أَوَجَعٌ أَوْ حُزْنٌ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا؟ فَقَالَ كَلَّا وَلَكِنْ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهْدًا لَمْ آخُذْ بِهِ قَالَ لِي «يَا أَبَا هَاشِمٍ إِنَّهَا سَتُدْرِكُكَ أَمْوَالٌ يُؤْتَاهَا أَقْوَامٌ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
