ما ذكر عن نبينا ﷺ في الزهدSayings of Our Prophet ﷺ Regarding Asceticism (Zuhd)
Hadith 37043
٣٧٠٤٣ - حدثنا (عبد اللَّه) (١) بن إدريس عن محمد بن (عمارة) (٢) عن عبد اللَّه ابن عبد الرحمن (بن) (٣) معمر عن رجل من بني سالم أو (فهم) (٤) أن النبي ﷺ أتي بهدية، فنظر فلم يجد شيئا يجعلها فيه، فقال: "ضعه بالحضيض، فإنما هو عبد يأكل كما يأكل العبد، ويشرب كما يشرب العبد، ولو كانت الدنيا تزن عند اللَّه جناح بعوضة ما (سقى) (٥) (منها) (٦) كافرا شربة ماء" (٧).
It is narrated from a man of the tribe of Banu Salim... or Fahm... that a gift was brought to the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So he looked around but did not find anything in which he could place it, so he (peace be upon him) said: "Place it on the ground (itself). So this is also a servant who eats like other servants eat. And he drinks just as other servants drink. And if the weight of the world with Allah were even equal to the wing of a mosquito, no disbeliever would be able to drink even a sip of water from this world."
