Muwatta Malik #1912

كتاب الاستئذان

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 to
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
said, 'Messenger of Allah, we moved into a house when our number was
great and our wealth was abundant. Now our number has dwindled and the
wealth has gone.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'Leave it as blameworthy.' "
