أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السَّاجِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفُّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا أَعْطَيْنَاهُ» قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَكْثَرُ الْأَنْصَارِ مَالًا

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intending to ask him something, and I heard him delivering a sermon, saying: “Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; whoever seeks chastity, Allah will keep him chaste; and whoever asks us, we will give him.” He said: So I turned back and did not ask him, and today I am the wealthiest of the Ansar.
