“The one who most deserved to be envied, un my view, is the one who has the least burden, who prays a great deal and finds joy in prayer, and who is unknown among people and is not paid any heed. His provision will be sufficient, he will be content with it, his death will come quickly, his estate will be small and his mourners will be few.”

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ النَّاسِ عِنْدِي مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلاَةٍ غَامِضٌ فِي النَّاسِ لاَ يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ كَانَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافًا وَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِ عَجِلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "The most beloved of people to me is a believing servant who is humble, has a portion of prayer, obeys his Lord, and excels in his worship in secret. He remains mysterious among people and is not pointed at with fingers. His livelihood is sufficient." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , then tapped his two fingers together, indicating that his livelihood is sufficient. It was also added that his life and wealth will end quickly, and his possessions will be few. Abu 'Abdul-Rahman asked his father, "What will be his inheritance?" He replied, "His inheritance will be..."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ النَّاسِ عِنْدِي عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ أَطَاعَ رَبَّهُ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَتَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَكَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا قَالَ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْقُرُ بِإِصْبُعَيْهِ وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَأَلْتُ أَبِي قُلْتُ مَا تُرَاثُهُ؟ قَالَ مِيرَاثُهُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the most fortunate person according to me is a believer who has a light presence, has a good share of prayer, excels in worshiping Allah, and obeys Him secretly so that he is unknown to people and not pointed at with fingers. His provision is sufficient, so he remains patient in his situation." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shook his finger and said, "His death will come soon, his descendants will be few, and his legacy will diminish." This is a reliable chain of narrators among the Sham'iyyin (people of Sham), and it has not been deemed weak.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ النَّاسِ عِنْدِي لَمُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ اللَّهِ وَأَطَاعَهُ فِي السِّرِّ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ وَكَانَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافًا فَصَبَرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ» ثُمَّ نَفَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَقَالَ «عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ» هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ لِلشَّامِيِّينَ صَحِيحٌ عِنْدَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ إلى الضعف هو

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, among my close friends (Awliya'i) the most enviable to me is a believer who is light on himself, with a share of prayer, fasting, and excellent worship of his Lord. He obeys Him in secret and remains mysterious among people, not pointed at by fingers. His living is sufficient, and he patiently endures that. His death comes quickly, leaving behind few belongings and little inheritance."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْ أَغْبَطِ أَوْلِيَائِي عِنْدِي مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَأَطَاعَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَكَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ وَكَانَتْ مَعِيشَتُهُ كَفَافًا وَصَبَرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَعَجَلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّ بَوَاكِيهِ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the most fortunate among the people in my eyes is a believer who is light-hearted or tactful with a lot of fortune in prayer and is excellent in worshiping his Lord and obedient to Him in secret, and he is mysterious among people, not pointed to by fingers, possessing sufficiency and patience for that." Then he detonated with his hand and said, "His death comes soon, his descendants are few, and his wealth is limited."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ النَّاسِ عِنْدِي مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ أَوِ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَأَطَاعَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَكَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ ذُو كَفَافٍ وَصَبْرٍ عَلَى ذَلِكَ» ثُمَّ نَقَدَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ «عَجَلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, meaning that Allah said, "Verily, the most beloved of my allies to me is a believing servant who is of humble status, has a share of good prayer and is devoted in worshipping his Lord, while remaining unnoticed among people; not being pointed at with fingers. His death is hastened, his inheritance is little, and his mourners are few." Abu Abdullah asked, "I asked my father, what is his inheritance?" He said, "His inheritance is."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ «إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ أَوْلِيَائِي عِنْدِي مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَكَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ؛ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ فَعُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ سَأَلْتُ أَبِي مَا تُرَاثُهُ؟ قَالَ مِيرَاثُهُ

"إِنَّ أَغبطَ أَوليَائى عندى لَمُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيف الْحَاذ ذُو حظِّ من الصلاةِ والصيام، أَحسنَ عِبَادةَ ربِّهِ، وأَطاعهُ في السِّرِّ، وكَان كامضًا في الناس لا يُشَارُ إِليهِ بالأَصابع، وكان رزقُه كَفَافًا فَصبر على ذَلك، عُجِّلَت منِيتهُ، وقَلَّت بواكِيه، وقَلِّ تُراثُهُ".
