It wasnarrated from Abu Wa'il that a man from his people – SamurahbinSahm – said:
"We stopped with Abu Hashim bin 'Utbah, who hadbeenstabbed, and Mu'awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept andMu'awiyah said to him: 'Why are you weeping, O maternal uncle? Isthere some pain bothering you, or is it because of this world, thebest of which has already passed?' He said: 'It is not for any ofthese reasons. But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me some adviceand I wish that I had followed it. He (ﷺ) said: "There may come atime when you will see wealth divided among the people, and all youwill need of that is a servant and a mount to ride in the cause ofAllah." That time came, but I accumulated wealth.'"
