ahmad-zuhd:2272ʿAbdullāh from my father > al-Walīd b. Muslim > al-Awzāʿī > Bilāl b. Saʿd > And al-Lah Lakafá Bih Dhanb

[Machine] "That Allah ﷻ makes us indifferent towards the world while we desire it, so your ascetic is the one who desires it, your knowledgeable is ignorant, and your worshipper falls short."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٧٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي سَمِعْتُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يَقُولُ «وَاللَّهِ لَكَفَى بِهِ ذَنْبًا

أَنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يُزَهِّدُنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَنَحْنُ نَرْغَبُ فِيهَا فَزَاهِدُكُمْ رَاغِبٌ وَعَالِمُكُمْ جَاهِلٌ وعَابِدُكُمْ مُقَصِّرٌ»
