فَأُعْجِبَ الخَلِيفَةُ بِكَلَامِهِ وَجُرْأَتِهِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: "هَاتِ مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا صَبِيُّ"، فَقَالَ الصَّبِيُّ بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ فَصِيحٍ: "يَا ابْنَ الخُلَفَاءِ الأَكَارِمِ، أَصَابَتْنَا سُنُونَ ثَلَاثٌ: سَنَةٌ أَذَابَتِ الشَّحْمَ، وَسَنَةٌ أَكَلَتِ اللَّحْمَ، وَسَنَةٌ دَقَّتِ العَظْمَ، وَفِي أَيْدِيكُمْ فُضُولُ مَالٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الفُضُولُ لِلَّهِ فَفَرِّقُوهَا عَلَى عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِعِبَادِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَامَ تَحْبِسُونَهَا عَنْهُمْ؟ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ فَتَصَدَّقُوا بِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْزِي المُتَصَدِّقِينَ".

The Caliph was impressed by his speech and his boldness, and said to him: 'Speak what you have, O boy.' The boy said in eloquent Arabic: 'O son of the noble Caliphs, three years have afflicted us: a year that melted the fat, a year that consumed the flesh, and a year that crushed the bone. In your hands is surplus wealth; if this surplus is for God, then distribute it among His servants, and if it is for the servants of God, then why do you withhold it from them? And if it is yours, then give it to them in charity, for God rewards those who give charity.'
