[Machine] Hafsah bint Umar said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, if you were to wear a garment that is softer than yours and eat food that is tastier than yours, then Allah has expanded your sustenance and increased your blessings." He said, "I will testify against you on behalf of yourself. Don't you remember what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ suffered from hardship of living? He kept reminding you of it until he made you cry. He said to her, 'If I tell you that, by Allah, if I could, I would share with them the same severe living conditions, in the hope that I would attain their comfortable living."
حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ لَبِسْتَ ثَوْبًا هُوَ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ طَعَامًا هُوَ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ فَقَدْ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ ﷻ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ» قَالَ إِنِّي سَأَخْصِمُكِ إِلَى نَفْسِكِ أَمَا تَذْكُرِينَ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْقَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْعَيْشِ فَمَا زَالَ يُذَكِّرُهَا حَتَّى أَبْكَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا «إِنْ قُلْتُ لَكِ ذَاكَ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَئِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأُشَارِكَنَّهُمَا بِمِثْلِ عَيْشِهِمَا الشَّدِيدِ لِعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ مَعَهُمَا عَيْشَهُمَا الرَّخَيَّ»
