Nothing Is Rarer Than These Two Things
It has been established from Imām Yūnus ibn ʿUbaid, may Allāh have mercy on him, that he said:
Nothing is rarer than two things: a pure, [honorably earned] dirham and a man acting upon the Sunnah.
Musnad ʿAlī ibn Al-Jaʿd (1 / no. 1383)
ثَبَتَ عن الإمام يونُس بنِ عُبيدٍ رحمه الله أنّه قال:
"ليس شيءٌ أعزّ مِنْ شَيْئَين:
مِنْ دِرْهَمٍ طيّبٍ،
و رجُلٍ يَعمَلُ على سُنّةٍ"
