اُردوEn
وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ ، مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى . يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ نَجْدَانِ : نَجْدُ خَيْرٍ ، وَنَجْدُ شَرٍّ ، فَمَا جُعِلَ نَجْدُ الشَّرِّ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ نَجْدِ الْخَيْرِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ فَضَالٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، وَفَضَالٌ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, come to your Lord! What is little and suffices is better than what is much and distracts. O people, there are only two paths: a path of good and a path of evil; and the path of evil has not been made dearer to you than the path of good."
Al-Tabarani recorded it as a narration of Fadal from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Fadal is da'if (weak).
