[Machine] In the saying of Allah, "And those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not miserly” [Quran 25:67], it is said that these are the companions of Muhammad ﷺ who did not eat food seeking pleasure, nor did they wear clothes seeking beauty, and their hearts were united as one.  

الزهد لأحمد:١١٤٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ

فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا} [الفرقان 67] قَالَ أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ كَانُوا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ طَعَامًا يَلْتَمِسُونَ بِهِ تَنَعُّمًا وَلَا يَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا يَلْتَمِسُونَ جَمَالًا وَكَانَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ عَلَى قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ
