Yahya ibn Adam and Yahya ibn Abi Bukayr, freedman of al-Bara' — and he praised him well — told us, they said: Zuhayr told us, from Mutarrif — Ibn Abi Bukayr said: Mutarrif, meaning al-Harithi, told us — from Abu al-Jahm — Ibn Abi Bukayr said: from Khalid ibn Wuhban or Wuhban — from Abu Dharr, who said: he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "How will you be with leaders after me who monopolize this booty for themselves?" I said: "Then, by the One who sent you with the truth, I will place my sword on my shoulder, then strike with it until I meet you or join you." He said: "Shall I not direct you to something better than that? You should be patient until you meet me."
