"الزُّهْدُ أنْ تُحِبَّ مَا يُحِبُّ خَالِقُكَ وأَنْ تُبْعِضَ مَا يُبْغِضُ خَالِقُكَ، وأَنْ تَتَحَرَّجَ من حَلال الدُّنْيَا كمَا تَتَحَرَّجُ من حَرَامهَا فإنَّ حَلالهَا حِسَابٌ وحَرَامها عَذَابٌ، وأَنْ تَرْحَمَ جميع الْمُسْلمِينَ، كَمَا تَرْحَمُ لِنَفْسكَ، وَأنْ تَتَحَرَّجَ عن الكلام فيما لا يَعْنِيكَ كَمَا تَتَحَرَّجُ من الحَرَامَ، وأَنْ تَتَحَرَّجَ من كَثْرَةِ الأَكْلَ كمَا تَتَحَرَّجُ من الْمَيتَةِ التي قد اشْتَدَّ نَتْنُهَا، وأَنْ تَتَحَرَّجَ من حُطَامِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا كَمَا تَتَحَرَّجُ من النَّار، وَأَنْ تُقْصِرَ أَمَلكَ في الدُّنْيَا فهذا هو الزُّهْدُ في الدُّنْيَا".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"Asceticism is that you love what your Creator loves and hate what your Creator hates, and that you avoid the lawful of this world as you avoid its unlawful, for its lawful is a reckoning and its unlawful is a punishment; and that you show mercy to all Muslims as you show mercy to yourself; and that you refrain from speaking about what does not concern you as you refrain from the unlawful; and that you refrain from excessive eating as you refrain from carrion whose stench has grown strong; and that you refrain from the debris of this world and its adornments as you refrain from the Fire; and that you shorten your hope in this world. This is asceticism in this world."
