وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّعْرَاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، قَالَ:
عَبَدَ اللهَ تَعَالَى رَاهِبٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، فَنَزَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهَا، فَكَانَ مَعَهَا سِتَّ لَيَالٍ، ثُمَّ سُقِطَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَهَرَبَ فَأَتَى مَسْجِدًا فَمَكَثَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَةً لَا يَطْعَمُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى بِرَغِيفٍ فَكَسَرَهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ، فَأَعْطَى مِسْكِينًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ نِصْفَهُ، وَآخَرَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ نِصْفَهُ، ثُمَّ قَبَضَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى، فَوُزِنَ السِّتُّونَ سَنَةً فِي كِفَّةٍ، وَالسِّتُّ اللَّيَالِي فِي كِفَّةٍ، فَرَجَحَتِ السِّتُّ، فَوُزِنَ السِّتُّ بِالرَّغِيفِ فَرَجَحَ الرَّغِيفُ

✧ A monk worshiped Allah the Exalted in his hermitage for sixty years. Then a woman came down beside him, and he went down to her and stayed with her for six nights. Then he became remorseful and fled, and came to a mosque and stayed there for three days without eating. Then a loaf of bread was brought to him, and he broke it into two halves and gave half to a poor person on his right and half to another on his left. Then Allah the Exalted took his soul. The sixty years were weighed in one pan and the six nights in another, and the six nights outweighed them. Then the six nights were weighed against the loaf, and the loaf outweighed them.
