Sa'd sought permission from Ibn 'Amir, and underneath him was a servant made of silk. He commanded her to be lifted up, so I lifted her up and he entered upon him and underneath him was a bed made of straw. He said to him, "You have sought permission on me, and underneath me is a servant made of silk, so I commanded her to be lifted up." She was then lifted up, and he said to him, "Indeed, you are a noble man, O Ibn 'Amir, if you are not among those whom Allah Almighty has described in the Quran saying, 'Have you exchanged the good things of this worldly life for the Hereafter?' And by Allah, lying on hot embers is more beloved to me than lying on it."

اسْتَأْذَنَ سَعْدٌ عَلَى ابْنِ عَامِرٍ وَتَحْتَهُ مَرَافِقُ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَرَفَعْتُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ مُطْرَفُ خَزٍّ فَقَالَ لَهُ اسْتَأْذَنْتَ عَلَيَّ وَتَحْتِي مَرَافِقُ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَأَمَرْتُ بِهَا فَرُفِعَتْ فَقَالَ لَهُ نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ عَامِرٍ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِمَّنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {أَذَهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا} [الأحقاف 20] وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ أَضْطَجِعَ عَلَى جَمْرِ الْغَضَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَضْطَجِعَ عَلَيْهَا
