Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37037 — Reports from our Prophet
٣٧٠٣٧ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن (سليمان) (١) بن فروخ عن الضحاك بن مزاحم قال: أتى النبي ﷺ (رجل) (٢) (فقال) (٣): يا رسول اللَّه من أزهد الناس في الدنيا؟ فقال: "من لم ينس المقابر والبلى، وترك أفضل زينة الدنيا، وآثر ما يبقى على ما يفنى، ولم يعد غدا من أيامه، وعد نفسه من الموتى" (٤).
It is narrated from al-Dahhak bin Muzahim that he said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who is the most abstinent of people with regard to this world? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who does not forget the graves and decay, who abandons the best of the adornment of this world, who prefers what remains over what perishes, who does not count tomorrow among the days (of his life), and who counts himself among the dead."
