Sunan An Nasai 5374

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ سَهْمٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هَاشِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ طَعِينٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعُودُهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَبَكَى أَبُو هَاشِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَوَجَعٌ يُشْئِزُكَ،‏‏‏‏ أَمْ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ صَفْوُهَا ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلٌّ لَا،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَبِعْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَمْوَالًا تُقْسَمُ بَيْنَ أَقْوَامٍ وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَدْرَكْتُ فَجَمَعْتُ.

It was narrated that Samurah bin Sahm said: I came to Abu Hashim bin 'Utbah when he was suffering the plague, and Mu'awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept. Mu'awiyah said to him: 'Why are you weeping? Is it because of some pain that is hurting you, or is it for this world, the best of which has gone?' He said: 'Neither, but the Messenger of Allah [SAW] gave me some advice, which I wish that I had followed. He said: Perhaps you will live to see wealth that will be distributed among the people when all that would suffice you of that would be a servant and a mount to ride in the cause of Allah. I lived to see that, and I accumulated (wealth).'
