أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو جَمْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هِلَالَ بْنَ حُصَينٍ،
يَقُولُ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ فِي دَارِهِ، فَضَمَّنِي وَإِيَّاهُ الْمَجْلِسُ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ: أَصَابَنِي جُوعٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى شَدَدْتُ عَلَى بَطْنِي حَجَرًا، فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَتِي: لَوْ أَتَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَدْ أَتَاهُ فُلَانٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ، وَأَتَاهُ فُلَانٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَسْأَلُهُ حَتَّى لَا أَجِدَ شَيْئًا، فَالْتَمَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَافَقْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: " ومَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا فَإِمَّا أَنْ نَبْذُلَ لَهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ نُوَاسِيَهُ، وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى عَنَّا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِمَّنْ سَأَلَنَا "، فَرَجَعْتُ فَمَا سَأَلْتُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ شَيْئًا، فَجَاءَتِ الدُّنْيَا فَمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالًا مِنَّا

He said: I came to Medina and stayed with Abū Saʿīd in his house, and the gathering brought him and me together, so I heard him narrate. He said: Hunger afflicted me in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until I tied a stone over my belly. My wife said: "If only you would go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him. So-and-so came to him and asked him, and he gave him, and so-and-so came to him and asked him, and he gave him." I said: "I will not ask him until I find nothing." So I searched and found nothing, and I set out to him and found him giving a sermon, and I caught some of his words: "Whoever seeks chastity, Allah will make him chaste; and whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whoever asks us, either we give to him or we console him with aid; and whoever is content without us is dearer to us than the one who asks us." So I returned and never asked anyone for anything after that. Then worldly wealth came, and there was no household among the Anṣār with more wealth than ours.
