وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخُ التَّصَوُّفِ فِي عَصْرِهِ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُصَيْرٍ الْخُلْدِيُّ ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التُّسْتَرِيَّ يَقُولُ لَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ ﷻ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا سَبْعَةُ أَصْنَافٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ الْمُلُوكُ وَالْمُزَارِعُونَ وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَوَاشِي وَالتُّجَّارُ وَالصُّنَّاعُ وَالْأُجَرَاءُ وَالضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْفُقَرَاءُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَنْتَقِلَ مِمَّا هُوَ فِيهِ وَلَكِنْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ وَالْيَقِينِ وَالتَّقْوَى وَالتَّوَكُّلِ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا كَانُوا فِيهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَيَنْبَغِي لِلْعَاقِلِ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِي بَعْدَ عِلْمِي بِأَنِّي عَبْدُكَ أَنْ أَرْجُوَ وأُؤَمِّلَ غَيْرَكَ وَلَا أَتَوَهُّمْ عَلَيْكَ إِذْ خَلَقْتَنِي وَصَوَّرْتَنِي عَبْدًا لَكَ أَنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي أَوْ تُوَلِّي أُمُورِي غَيْرَكَ

✧ I heard Sahl b. Abdullah al-Tustari say: When Allah, may He be exalted, sent the Prophet ﷺ, there were in the world seven categories of people: kings, farmers, livestock owners, merchants, artisans, laborers, and the weak and poor. He did not command any of them to leave what he was in, but He commanded them to knowledge, certainty, piety, and trust in all that they were in. Sahl, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It is fitting for a rational person to say: It is not fitting for me, after knowing that I am Your servant, to hope and expect other than You, nor to imagine about You, since You created me and formed me as a servant to You, that You would entrust me to myself or hand over my affairs to other than You.
