"عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْد قَالَ: قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ لِعُمَرَ: لَوْ لَبِسْتَ ثَوْبًا هُوَ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ طَعَامًا هُوَ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ فَقَدْ وَسَّعَ الله مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الخَيْرِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّى سَأُخَاصِمُكِ إِلَى نَفْسِكِ أمَا تَذْكُرِينَ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَلْقَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْعَيْشِ؟ ! فَمَا زَالَ يُكَرَّرُهَا حَتَّى أَبْكَاهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: وَالله إن قُلِبَ ذَلِك إلىَّ وَالله إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لأُشَارِكَنَّهُمَا بِمِثْلِ عَيْشِهِمَا الشَّدِيدِ لَعَلِّى أُدْرِكُ عَيْشَهُمَا الرَّخِىَّ".
[AI] "For the sake of Omar, do not wear a garment softer than yours and do not eat more delicious food than yours, even though Allah has granted you ease and plenty. She said, 'I will argue with you until you speak for yourself.' He then mentioned the condition of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and what he endured in his life. She continued to remind him until she cried, and he said, 'Indeed, I have declared that I will share with them in their harsh living conditions, hoping that I will attain their comfortable living conditions.'"
لِعُمَرَ أَلَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا أَلْيَنَ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ وَتَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ هَذَا وَقَدْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْأَمْرَ وَأَوْسَعَ إِلَيْكَ الرِّزْقَ؟ فَقَالَ «سَأُخَاصِمُكِ إِلَى نَفْسِكِ فَذَكَرَ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا كَانَ يَلْقَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْعَيْشِ» فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى بَكَتْ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ لَأُشَارِكَنَّهُمَا فِي مِثْلِ عَيْشِهِمَا الشَّدِيدِ لِعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ مَعَهُمَا عَيْشَهُمَا الرَّخِيَّ»
[AI] "O Umar, why don't you wear a softer garment than yours and eat a more delicious food than yours? So he replied, "I will argue with you about yourself." Then he reminded her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do and the effort he exerted until he made her cry. He said, "I have told you that I had two companions, who used to walk a straight path. And if I took a different path than theirs, I would have walked on a different path than theirs. And by Allah, I would have shared in their living if it was possible for me to attain their comfortable living."
لِعُمَرَ أَلَا تَلْبَسْ ثَوْبًا أَلْيَنَ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ وَتَأْكُلُ طَعَامًا أَطْيَبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «سَأُخَاصِمُكِ إِلَى نَفْسِكِ» فَجَعَلَ يُذَكِّرُهَا مَا كَانَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا كَانَتْ فِيهِ مِنْ الْجَهْدِ حَتَّى أَبْكَاهَا فَقَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِي صَاحِبَانِ سِلْكًا طَرِيقًا وَإِنِّي إِنْ سَلَكَتُ غَيْرَ طَرِيقِهِمَا سُلِكَ بِي غَيْرُ طَرِيقِهِمَا وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَأُشَارِكَنَّهُمَا فِي مِثْلِ عَيْشِهِمَا لَعَلِّي أَنْ أُدْرِكَ مَعَهُمَا عَيْشَهُمَا الرَّخِيَّ
[AI] Hafsah bint Umar said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, if you were to wear a garment that is softer than yours and eat food that is tastier than yours, then Allah has expanded your sustenance and increased your blessings." He said, "I will testify against you on behalf of yourself. Don't you remember what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ suffered from hardship of living? He kept reminding you of it until he made you cry. He said to her, 'If I tell you that, by Allah, if I could, I would share with them the same severe living conditions, in the hope that I would attain their comfortable living."
حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ لَبِسْتَ ثَوْبًا هُوَ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ طَعَامًا هُوَ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ فَقَدْ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ ﷻ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ» قَالَ إِنِّي سَأَخْصِمُكِ إِلَى نَفْسِكِ أَمَا تَذْكُرِينَ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْقَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْعَيْشِ فَمَا زَالَ يُذَكِّرُهَا حَتَّى أَبْكَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا «إِنْ قُلْتُ لَكِ ذَاكَ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَئِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأُشَارِكَنَّهُمَا بِمِثْلِ عَيْشِهِمَا الشَّدِيدِ لِعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ مَعَهُمَا عَيْشَهُمَا الرَّخَيَّ»
