Hadith 485
۞
6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Bakr ibn Muhammad al-Azdi from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘The most enviable among My friends is a believer who has his share of salvation, performs the worship of his Lord well, worships Allah privately, is obscure among people and no finger rises to point him out. His sustenance is only adequate for his basic needs and he bears it patiently. I cause him to die faster, thus his legacy is little and his mourners are very few.’”
6ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّ مِنْ أَغْبَطِ أَوْلِيَائِي عِنْدِي عَبْداً مُؤْمِناً ذَا حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلاحٍ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَعَبَدَ الله فِي السَّرِيرَةِ وَكَانَ غَامِضاً فِي النَّاسِ فَلَمْ يُشَرْ إِلَيْهِ بِالأصَابِعِ وَكَانَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافاً فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَجَّلَتْ بِهِ الْمَنِيَّةُ فَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ.
