[2306] 34 – (992) It was narrated that Al-Ahnaf bin Qais said: I arrived in Al-Madinah, and while I was in a circle that included some leaders of the Quraish, a man came with coarse clothes, a coarse body and a coarse face. He stood in front of them and said: "Give tidings to the hoarders of stones heated in the fire of Hell and placed on the nipple of one of them until it comes out from his shoulder bone, and placed on his shoulder bone until its comes out from his nipple, and he will tremble." He said: "The people hung their heads, and I did not see any one of them responding to him at all. He turned and left, and I followed him until he sat down by a pillar. I said: 'I think that these people did not like what you said to them.' He said: 'They do not understand anything. My beloved Abü Al-Qâsim called me and I responded, and he said: "Do you see Uhud (mountain)?" I looked, and saw the sun shining, and I thought that he was going to send me on an errand. I said: "I can see it." He said: "I would not like to have its equivalent in gold without spending all of it except for three DInâr, but these people gather worldly wealth and do not understand anything." I said: "What is the matter with you and your brothers of the Quraish, that you do not ask them for anything and do not get any help from them?" He said: "No, by your Lord, I will not ask them for any worldly matter, nor will I consult them about any religious matter, until I meet Allah and His Messenger."
