[Machine] A man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, and the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to praise him and mention his worship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. When they stopped, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did he frequently mention death?" They said, "No." He said, "Then did he often give up many of his desires?" They said, "No." He said, "Your companion has not reached what you have reached."  

الطبراني:٥٩٤١حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُسْتَمِرِّ الْعُرُوقِيُّ ثنا حَاتِمُ بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحَرَشِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ ثنا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ قَالَ
