ahmad-zuhd:269ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Sayyār > Jaʿfar > Mālik / Ibn Dīnār

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, make obedience to Allah a trade that brings you profits without merchandise."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٦٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ مَالِكٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ قَالَ

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ «يَا بُنَيَّ اتَّخِذْ طَاعَةَ اللَّهِ تِجَارَةً تَأْتِكَ الْأَرْبَاحُ مِنْ غَيْرِ بِضَاعَةٍ»
