وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؓ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا يَكْفِينِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَا سَدَّ جَوْعَتَكَ، وَوَارَى عَوْرَتَكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ يُظِلُّكَ، أَوْ دَابَّةٌ تَرْكَبُهَا فَبَخٍ بَخٍ
