أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ أَهْلَهُ شَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ الْحَاجَةَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيَسْأَلَهُ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا فَوَافَقَهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ آنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَغْنُوا عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفُّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا رُزِقَ عَبْدٌ شَيْئًا أَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ وَلَئِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَسْأَلُونِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّكُمْ مَا وَجَدْتُ»

✧ His family complained to him about need, so he went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him for something for them. He came upon him on the pulpit while he was saying: “O people, the time has come for you to be self-sufficient from begging. For whoever seeks chastity, Allah will keep him chaste; whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no servant has been granted anything more expansive than patience. And if you refuse except to ask me, I will give you whatever I find.”
