The way of life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the early generations
Majma al-Zawaid 18254 — The way of life of the Prophet ﷺ and the early
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو أَيْضًا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : مَا أَبْعَدَ هَدْيَكُمْ مِنْ هَدْيِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَرْغَبُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا . رَوَاهُ كُلَّهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرَوَى حَدِيثَ عَمْرٍو فَقَطْ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
In one narration the wording is: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How far is your way from the way of your Prophet! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most detached of all people from the world, while you are the most eager of all people for it." Ahmad recorded all of these narrations; al-Tabarani recorded only the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him); the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
