حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِذَا طَلَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْحَاجَةَ فَلْيَطْلُبْهَا طَلَبًا يَسِيرًا فَإِنَّمَا لَهُ مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ وَلاَ يَأْتِي أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ فَيَمْدَحَهُ فَيَقْطَعَ ظَهْرَهُ
Translation
✧ ʿAbd Allāh ؓ said: “When one of you seeks a need, let him seek it in a modest request, for he only has what has been decreed for him. And let no one of you go to his companion and praise him, for that breaks his back.”
