English Translation

Abd al-Razzaq told us, Sufyan informed us, from al-A'mash, from Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from Abu Dharr, who said: It was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The people of wealth have taken away all the reward." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed you have much charity in you," and he mentioned the excellence of your hearing and the excellence of your sight. He said: "And in your intimacy with your wife there is charity." Abu Dharr said: "Will one of us be rewarded for satisfying his desire?" He said: "Do you see, if you had placed it in something unlawful, would there not be sin upon you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "So do you reckon with evil but not reckon with good?"
