And with the preceding chains of narration, from âAli ibn Mahzyar, from al-Hasan ibn âAli from Yunus ibn Yaâqoob, from Shoayb al-Aqrqoofi, who said: I related to Abu Abdillah Jaâfar ibn Muhammad, peace be upon them both, that I heard someone report from Abu Dharr who used to say: "People hate three things, while I love them. I love death, and I love poverty and I love ordeals." He, peace upon him, said: "That is not what he meant.
When he said he preferred death, he meant to say that death in the way of Allah was more likeable to him then life in sin; and ordeal in the way of Allah was more agreeable to him then health in sin; and poverty in the way of Allah was more loveable to him than plenty in sin."
