Sunan Ibn-e-Majah : 4103
It was narrated from Abu Wa’il that:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ سَهْمٍ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، قَالَ: نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هَاشِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ طَعِينٌ، فَأَتَاهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعُودُهُ، فَبَكَى أَبُو هَاشِمٍ، فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ أَيْ خَالِ أَوَجَعٌ يُشْئِزُكَ، أَمْ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ صَفْوُهَا، قَالَ: عَلَى كُلٍّ لَا، وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَبِعْتُهُ، قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَمْوَالًا تُقْسَمُ بَيْنَ أَقْوَامٍ، وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ فَجَمَعْتُ.
A man from his people – Samurah bin Sahm – said: “We stopped with Abu Hashim bin ‘Utbah رضی اللہ عنہ , who had been stabbed, and Mu’awiyah رضی اللہ عنہ came to visit him. Abu Hashim رضی اللہ عنہ wept and Mu’awiyah رضی اللہ عنہ 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.’”
