ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ بِالِاسْتِغْنَاءِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَنْ خَلْقِهِ إِذْ فَاعِلُهُ يُغْنِيهِ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِتَفَضُلِّهِ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I wanted to ask him, and I heard him giving a sermon saying, "Whoever seeks contentment, Allah will enrich him, and whoever seeks chastity, Allah will grant him celibacy, and whoever asks from us, we will give him." So I turned back without asking him, and today I am the richest of the Ansar in wealth.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفُّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا أَعْطَيْنَاهُ» قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَكْثَرُ الْأَنْصَارِ مَالًا
