Arabic text

فضالة بن أيوب عن سيف بن عميرة عن علي بن المغيرة عن أخ له قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ما ذئبان جايعان في غنم قد فرقها راعيها أحدهما في أولها والاخر في آخرها بافسد فيها من حب المال والشرف في دين المرء المسلم.

Translation

8.Faḍālah ibn Ayyūb narrated from Sayf ibn ʿAmīrah, from ʿAlī ibn al-Mughīrah, from his brother who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, “Two hungry wolves among a flock of sheep that has been separated from their shepherd, one in front of the flock and the other behind it, are not more harmful to it than love of wealth and status is [harmful] to the religion of a Muslim.”

Translation: Shaykh Tahir Ridha Jaffer — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
