ahmad-zuhd:2285ʿAbdullāh from my father > Kathīr b. Hishām > Jaʿfar b. Burqān

[Machine] Salih bin Mismaar said, "And the blessing of Allah upon us in what He has withheld from us from the world is greater than His blessing upon us in what He has bestowed upon us from it."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ قَالَ

صَالِحُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ «ولَنِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا زَوَى عَنَّا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا بَسَطَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْهَا»
