٣٤١٨١ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر قال: ثنا محمد بن عمرو قال: ثنا أبو سلمة قال: قال سعد: أما واللَّه ما كان بأقدمنا إسلامًا، ولكن قد عرفتُ بأي شيء فضلنا: كان أزهدنا في الدنيا -يعني عمر بن الخطاب (١).
Hazrat Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! Although he was not among us for long in terms of Islam, I found him superior to us in everything. He was the most indifferent to the world among us. That is, Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
