عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عُمَرَ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فِي غَنَمٍ لَهُ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الرَّاكِبِ فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ أَرَضِيتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَعْرَابِيًّا فِي غَنَمِكَ وَالنَّاسُ يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِي الْمُلْكِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَضَرَبَ سَعْدٌ صَدْرَ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ اسْكُتْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحِبُّ الْعَبْدَ التَّقِيَّ الْغَنِيَّ الْخَفِيَّ
It is narrated from Amir bin Sa’d that his brother Umar went to their father, Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was outside Madinah Munawwarah among his goats. When he saw him, he said: I seek Allah’s protection from this rider. When he came, he said: Father! Are you content to become a Bedouin among your goats, while people are fighting over kingship in Madinah Munawwarah? Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) struck Umar’s chest with his hand and said: Be quiet! Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Indeed, Allah loves the servant who is pious, self-sufficient, and unknown.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "ghani" (rich), what is meant is richness of the soul; it is also possible that what is meant is a wealthy person whose wealth has not made him heedless of Allah, the Exalted.
