Hadith 33:1062

Affan narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Ashhab narrated to us, from al-Hasan, that a king from among those kings was approached by death, and the people of his kingdom surrounded him and said: "You will not leave the servants and the lands after you." He said: "O people, do not be ignorant, for you are in the kingdom of One who does not care whether He takes a small thing from His kingdom or a large one."

حدثنا عفان قال حدثنا أبو الأشهب عن الحسن أن ملكا من تلك الملوك حضرته الوفاة فأطاف به أهل مملكته فقالوا لن تدع العباد والبلاد بعدك فقال يا أيها القوم لا تجهلوا فانكم في ملك من لا يبالي أصغير أخذ من ملكه أو كبير
