(9) – باب الْقَنَاعَةِ
(9) – Contentment
Sunan Ibn Majah 4137
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Richness is not an abundance of worldly goods, rather richness is contentment with one’s lot.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ " .
