ahmad-zuhd:1371ʿAbdullāh from my father > Bahz b. Asad > Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān > Thābit

[Machine] "A witty person, so I agreed to it, and my Lord, blessed and exalted is He, promised me three qualities that every quality of them is more beloved to me than the entire world. Allah says, 'Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.' [Al-Baqarah 157]. So I agreed to it after this." Thabit said, and Muttarrif said, "There is nothing that I have been given in the Hereafter the like of the amount of a sip of water except that I desire it to be taken from me in this world."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٣٧١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ وَكَانَ قَدْ زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى اسْتُعْمِلَ فَخَرَجَ مُطَرِّفٌ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فِي ثِيَابٍ حَسَنَةٍ وَقَدِ ادَّهَنَ فَغَضِبُوا قَالُوا يَمُوتُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فِي ثِيَابٍ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ مُدَّهِنًا قَالَ

مُطَرِّفٌ فَأَسْتَكِينُ لَهَا وَقَد وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَيْهَا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ كُلُّ خَصْلَةٍ مِنْهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا كُلِّهَا قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ الْمُهْتَدُونَ} [البقرة 157] [199] فَأَسْتَكِينُ لَهَا بَعْدَ هَذَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ وَقَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ مَا شَيْءٌ أَعْطَيْتُهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ قَدْرَ كُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ إِلَّا وَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ أُخِذَ مِنِّي فِي الدُّنْيَا
