hakim:5105Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. ʿAffān > Abū Usāmah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father

[Machine] Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah used to say, "O Allah, grant me honor and glory, for there is no glory except through actions, and there are no actions except through wealth. O Allah, being insignificant does not benefit me, and I do not benefit others even if I were to call out upon deaf ears. Whoever desires fat and meat, let him come to Sa'd." (This narration was excluded by Al-Dhahabi from the summary due to its weakness.)
