Hadith 462
۞
3. With this chain of narrators, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, that he said: Iwas told by Jahm bin Hakam, from Isma’eel bin Muslim, that he said
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: Abstinence in this world is not by wasting property, nor by declaring the allowable as forbidden. Rather, abstinence in this world is that you are not, towards what is in your hand, more confident than towards what is in the Hand of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He.
وبهذا الاسناد، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، قال: حدثني الجهم بن الحكم، عن إسماعيل بن مسلم، قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ليس الزهد في الدنيا بإضاعة المال ولا بتحريم الحلال بل الزهد في الدنيا أن لا تكون بما في يدك أوثق منك بما في يد الله عز وجل.
