موطأ مالك

23
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَارٌ سَكَنَّاهَا وَالْعَدَدُ كَثِيرٌ وَالْمَالُ وَافِرٌ فَقَلَّ الْعَدَدُ وَذَهَبَ الْمَالُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " دَعُوهَا ذَمِيمَةً " .


Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said said, "A woman came tothe Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, andsaid, 'Messenger of Allah, we moved into a house when our number wasgreat and our wealth was abundant. Now our number has dwindled and thewealth has gone.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, said, 'Leave it as blameworthy.' "
