ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ بَعْضِ سَعَةِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

(Once) the Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got carpets?" I replied, "Whence can we get carpets?" He said, "But you shall soon have carpets." I used to say to my wife, "Remove your carpets from my sight," but she would say, "Didn't the Prophet ﷺ tell you that you would soon have carpets?" So I would give up my request.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْمَاطٍ قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى يَكُونُ لَنَا الأَنْمَاطُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمُ الأَنْمَاطُ فَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَهَا يَعْنِي امْرَأَتَهُ أَخِّرِي عَنِّي أَنْمَاطَكِ فَتَقُولُ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ الأَنْمَاطُ فَأَدَعُهَا

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did you get Anmat?" I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! From where can we have Anmat?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Soon you will have them (Anmat).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلِ اتَّخَذْتُمْ أَنْمَاطًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ

When I was married, Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) asked me if I had got the carpet. I said: How can we have carpets? (i. e. I am so poor that I cannot even think of carpets). whereupon he said: You shall soon possess them.

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجْتُ أَتَّخَذْتَ أَنْمَاطًا قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ

Jabir said: My wife had possessed a carpet, and I said to her to remove that away from me, but she would say: Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said: You will soon have.

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَّخَذْتَ أَنْمَاطًا قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَعِنْدَ امْرَأَتِي نَمَطٌ فَأَنَا أَقُولُ نَحِّيهِ عَنِّي وَتَقُولُ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Have you made cushions ? I said: How can we afford cushions ? He said: Soon you will have cushions.

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ أَنْمَاطًا قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى لَنَا الأَنْمَاطُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ

He said: "Soon you will have Anmat" He said: "I would say to my wife: 'Remove your Anmat from my sight.' But she would say: 'Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Indeed you shall soon have Anmat?" He said: "So I left it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى تَكُونُ لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ فَأَنَا أَقُولُ لاِمْرَأَتِي أَخِّرِي عَنِّي أَنْمَاطَكِ فَتَقُولُ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ فَأَدَعُهَا
