٣٧۔ كتاب الزهد
“Richness is not an abundance of worldly goods, rather richness is contentment with one’s lot.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ
“He has succeeded who is guided to Islam and is granted sufficient provision and is content with it.”
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ هُدِيَ إِلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَرُزِقَ الْكَفَافَ وَقَنِعَ بِهِ
“O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient for them.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا
“There is no rich man or poor man but he will wish on the Day of Resurrection that he had been given the bare minimum of provision.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ غَنِيٍّ وَلاَ فَقِيرٍ إِلاَّ وَدَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قُوتًا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever among you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, with food for the day, it is as if he acquired the whole world.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا
“Look at those who are beneath you and do not look at those who are above you, for it is more suitable that you should not consider as less the blessing of Allah.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلاَ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لاَ تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَيْكُمْ
“Allah does not look at your forms or your wealth, rather He looks at your deeds and your hearts.”
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِكُمْ
