ahmad-zuhd:461ʿAbdullāh > Abū Bakr b. ʿAwn al-Madīnī > Baʿḍ Aṣḥābinā

[Machine] I heard some of our companions saying that Allah ﷻ revealed to Dawud ﷺ , "I have only sent desires on Earth to the weak among My servants. What about the heroes, don't they have desires as well?"  

الزهد لأحمد:٤٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا يَقُولُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ ﷻ إِلَى دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ «إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلْتُ الشَّهَوَاتِ فِي الْأَرْضِ عَلَى الضُّعَفَاءِ مِنْ عِبَادِي مَا لِلْأَبْطَالِ وَلَهَا؟»
