حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّصْرِ الْأَحْوَلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ أَخِي بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ:
" أَعْوَزْنَا إِعْوَازًا شَدِيدًا، فَأَمَرَنِي أَهْلِي أَنْ آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْأَلَهُ شَيْئًا. قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَكَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ مَا سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ أَعَفَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا لَمْ نَدَّخِرْ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا إِنْ وَجَدْنَا ". أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ. فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: لَأَسْتَغْنِيَنَّ فَيُغْنِيَنِي اللهُ، وَلَأَتَعَفَّفَنَّ فَيُعِفَّنِي اللهُ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَسْأَلِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَيْئًا

✧ "We became extremely poor, and my family told me to go to the Messenger of God ﷺ and ask him for something. So I went, and the first thing I heard the Prophet of God ﷺ say was: 'Whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, God will make him self-sufficient; whoever seeks to abstain, God will make him abstain; and whoever asks us, we will not withhold anything from him if we find it' — or as he said. I said to myself: I will seek self-sufficiency and God will make me self-sufficient, and I will seek abstinence and God will make me abstain. So I did not ask the Prophet ﷺ for anything."
