وَقَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنَا أَبُو الْعَطُوفِ الْجَرَّاحُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا فِي بَعْضِ حِيطَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَلْتَقِطُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَنَأْكُلُ، فَقَالَ لِي: « يَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ ؟ » فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا أَشْتَهِيهِ. قَالَ ﷺ: « لَكِنِّي أَشْتَهِيهِ وَهَذِهِ صُبْحُ رَابِعَةٍ مُنْذُ لَمْ أَذُقْ طَعَامًا وَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي فَأَعْطَانِي مِثْلَ مُلْكِ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ، فَكَيْفَ بِكَ يَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُخَبِّئُونَ رِزْقَ سَنَةٍ وَيَضْعُفُ الْيَقِينُ ؟ » فَوَاللهِ مَا بَرِحْنَا وَلَا ذَهَبْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ: وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ لا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنِي بِكَنْزِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا اتِّبَاعِ الشَّهَوَاتِ، فَمَنْ كَنَزَهَا يُرِيدُ بِهَا حَيَاةً بَاقِيَةً، فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاةَ بِيَدِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي لَا أَكْنِزُ دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا وَلَا أُخَبِّئُ رِزْقًا لِغَدٍ

✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we entered one of the gardens of the Ansar. We began picking dates and eating. He said to me: "O Ibn 'Umar, why do you not eat?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, I do not desire it. He ﷺ said: "But I desire it, and this is the morning of the fourth day since I have not tasted food or found it. If I wished, I would call upon my Lord and He would give me the like of the kingdom of Kisra and Qaysar. How will it be with you, O Ibn 'Umar, if you remain among a people who store up a year's provision and certainty weakens?" By Allah, we had not moved or gone until it was revealed: "And how many a creature carries not its own provision; Allah provides for it and for you, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has not commanded me to hoard the world or follow desires. Whoever hoards it seeking a lasting life, verily life is in the hand of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Indeed, I do not hoard a dinar or a dirham, nor do I store provision for tomorrow."
