وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الزَّهَادَةُ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَيْسَتْ بِتَحْرِيم وَلَا إِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ وَلَكِنَّ الزَّهَادَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ بِمَا فِي يَدَيْكَ أَوْثَقَ بِمَا فِي يَد اللَّهِ وَأَنْ تَكُونَ فِي ثَوَابِ الْمُصِيبَةِ إِذَا أَنْتَ أُصِبْتَ بِهَا أَرْغَبَ فِيهَا لَوْ أَنَّهَا أُبْقِيَتْ لَكَ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ وَاقِدٍ الرَّاوِي مُنكر الحَدِيث
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr رحمه الله narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "To observe Zuhd (abstinence) (abstinence) in this world is not to forbid the lawful to oneself or to squander property. But, zuhd (abstinence) in this world is that you rely more on what is with Allah than on that which you possess, and that you long for reward against hardship which our encounter to such an extent that you wish it to prolong for ever."
