أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ, حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْحَافِظُ, نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ, نَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ, نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ, عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ, عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ, عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ, عَنْ عَلِيٍّ,
قَالَ: " مَا أَصْبَحَ بِالْكُوفَةِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا نَاعِمٌ, إِنَّ أَدْنَاهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً يَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ, وَيَجْلِسُ فِي الظِّلِّ, وَيَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْبِرِّ, وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ: {وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنْ يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَا يَشَاءُ} [الشورى: 27] وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا, فَتَمَنَوُا الدُّنْيَا "

He said: "No one in Kufa has woken up except in comfort. Indeed the lowest of them in standing drinks from the water of the Euphrates, sits in the shade, and eats wheat. This verse was only revealed about the People of the Bench (Ahl al-Ṣuffah): {وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنْ يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَا يَشَاءُ} [al-Shūrā: 27]. That is because they said: If only we had such and such, and they wished for the world."
