حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا سَلَّامٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ:

« لَمَوْتُ أَلْفِ عَابِدٍ قَائِمِ اللَّيْلِ صَائِمِ النَّهَارِ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ مَوْتِ عَاقِلٍ عَقَلَ عَنِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمْرَهُ، فَعَلِمَ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُ، وَمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَفَعَ بِعِلْمِهِ وَانْتَفَعَ النَّاسُ بِهِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى الْفَرَائِضِ الَّتِي فَرَضَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ كَبِيرَ زِيَادَةٍ

✧ “The death of a thousand devoted worshippers who pray at night and fast during the day is lighter than the death of one intelligent person who has understood from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, His command, and knows what Allah has made lawful for him and what He has forbidden, and benefits from his knowledge and people benefit from him; even if he does not add much beyond the obligatory duties that Allah, the Exalted, has prescribed upon him.”
