Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 10994a
✧ Alif with Zay
"الزَّهادَةُ في الدُّنْيَا لَيسَت بِتَحْرِيم الْحَلالِ، ولا إِضَاعَةِ المَال، وَلكِنَّ الزَّهَادَةَ فِي الدنْيا ألَّا تَكُونَ بمَا في يَدَيكَ أَوْثَقُ مِنْكَ بِمَا في يَدِ اللهِ، وأَنْ تَكُونَ في ثَوَاب المُصِيبَةِ إِذَا أَنْتَ أُصِبْتَ بِها أَرْغَبُ فِيها لَوْ أَنَّهَا أُبْقِيَتْ لَكَ".

"Asceticism in this world is not forbidding the lawful, nor squandering wealth, but asceticism in this world is that what is in your hand is not more trustworthy to you than what is in the hand of Allah, and that you would prefer the reward for a calamity, if you are afflicted by it, to what would have remained for you had it not befallen you."
