Aḥmad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us: Rawḥ ibn ʿUbādah narrated to us: Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: “I have nothing and no wealth, but I have an orphan under my care who has wealth.” He said: “Eat from the wealth of the orphan in your care, without excess and without accumulating wealth for yourself.” He said: I think he also said: “Do not use his wealth to preserve your own.”
