So Abu Abdullah -asws said...

So Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘Had the Clan of Umayya not found the ones who could write for them, and obligate Al-Fey for them, and fight on their behalf, and bearers of witness for their groups to what they have confiscated from us -asws of our -asws rights, and had the people neglected them and what is in their hands, they would not have found anything except for what falls into their hands’.

Is there any way out from it for me?’ He -asws said, ‘If I -asws were to tell you to do (something) would you do it?’ He said, ‘I would do it’. He -asws said to him: ‘So take out the entirety of whatever you have earned in their offices. So for the one whom you recognise, return his wealth to him, and the one you do not recognise, give in charity with it, and I -asws guarantee the Paradise for you, upon (the Guarantee of) Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic’.

So the youth kept his head lowered for a long time, then said, ‘I will do it, may I be sacrificed for you -asws ’.

So I apportioned a share for him and we bought some clothes for him and send these over to him along with expenses. So there did not come upon him except for a few months until he fell sick, and we used to go to console him.
