the amassing of wealth from lawful sources is permitted?<br />

<strong>The</strong>n can Abu Dharr have censured 1Abdu1l-Ral:.iman, who was<br />

immeasurably his superior? Further his laying hold of 1Abdu1l­<br />

Ral:.iman only is evidence that he had not studied the lives of the<br />

Companions; for Tall:.iah (ratf!YA/ldhu 'anhu) left 300 large sums of<br />

wealth. <strong>The</strong> fortune of al-Zubayr (ra41JAl!tihu 'anhu) was 50, 200,000<br />

dirhams. <strong>Ibn</strong> Mas1ud (ra1/!yA/ldhu 'anhu) left 90,000. Most of the Companions<br />

acquired and left fortunes, and none of them found fault<br />

with another.<br />

His assertion that 1Abdu1l-Ral:.iman will crawl on the Day of Resurrection<br />

shows that he does not know the l:.iadith. Or was this a<br />

dream, the man not being awake? Allah forbid that 1Abdu1l-Ral:.iman<br />

<strong>Ibn</strong> 1A wf (rat/iyAlldhu 'anhu) should crawl on the day of Resurrection!<br />

Who then will go in front if 1Abdu1l-Ral:.iman has to crawl,<br />

when he was one of the ten promised Paradise, one of the ahlu'lbadr<br />

to whom pardon was promised, one of the ahlu'l-Shural<br />

Besides, the l:.iadith is narrated <strong>by</strong> 1Umarah <strong>Ibn</strong> Zhadhan, of whom<br />

authority of Anas, which are to be rejected, Abu I:Iatim al-Razi that<br />

he must not be used as evidence, Daraqutni said that he is weak.<br />

Anas (rat/iyAlldhu 'anhu) said: One day when 1A'ishah (ratfiyA/ldhu<br />

'anha) was in her house she heard a noise in Madinah and asked what<br />

it was. She was told that it was a train of camels belonging to 1Abdu1l­<br />

RaJ:iman <strong>Ibn</strong> 1A wf (rat/iyAlldhu 'anhu) coming from al-Shtim laden with<br />

all sorts of goods, and consisting of seven hundred camels. Madinah<br />

shook with the noise. 'A'ishah (rat/!JAl/tihu 'anha) said: I heard the<br />

Prophet say that he had seen 'Abdu1l-RaJ:iman <strong>Ibn</strong> 1Awf (ra4!JA.lltihu<br />

'anhu) entering Paradise crawling. <strong>The</strong> story came to the ears of<br />

1Abdu1l-Ral:.iman <strong>Ibn</strong> 1Awf (rat/iyAlldhu 'anhu), who said: If I can, I<br />
