Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَامِتٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً نَقْضِي قَالَ فَفَضَ
لَ مَعَهُ فَضْلٌ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ سَبْعٌ قَالَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهَا فُلُوسًا قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَنُوبُكَ وَلِلضَّيْفِ يَأْتِيكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ إِفْرَاغًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that his wife had some money remaining — perhaps seven dinars — and he ordered her to buy small coins with it. When asked why not save it for a need or a guest, he said: "My close friend instructed me that any gold or silver that is sealed away becomes like hot coals on its owner's body on the Day of Resurrection, until he exhausts it in the way of Allah."
