Abu Dharr said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, went towards al-Baqi' and I began to follow him. He turned and saw
me and said, 'Abu Dharr!' I said, 'At your service, Messenger of Allah.
May I be your ransom.' He said, 'Those who are rich will be poor on the
Day of Rising except those who say, "Such-and-such and such-and-such is
for a right (which was performed)."' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know
best.' He said, 'That is how it is' three times. Then we came to Uhud.
He said, 'Abu Dharr!' I replied, 'At your service, Messenger of Allah.
May I be your ransom.' He said, 'It would not delight me if Uhud were to
become gold for the family of Muhammad and then have them spend a night
with a dinar - or he said a mithqal.' Then we were at a wadi and he
went ahead, so I thought that he felt a call of nature, and so I sat down
at the edge of the wadi. He was gone a long time and I feared for him.
Then I heard him and it seemed as if he were talking to a man. Then he
came out to me my himself. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, who was the man
you were talking to?' 'Did you hear him?' he asked. I said, 'Yes.' He said,
'That was Jibril. He came to me and gave me the good news that whoever
of my community dies without associating anything with Allah will enter
the Garden.' I said, 'Even if he commits adultery or steals?' He said,
'Yes.'"
