كلام عمر بن الخطاب ﵁Sayings of Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه
Hadith 37179
٣٧١٧٩ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر قال: حدثنا محمد بن (عمرو) (١) قال: حدثنا أبو سلمة (٢) (قال) (٣): قال سعد: أما واللَّه ما كان بأقدمنا إسلاما ولا أقدمنا هجرة ولكن قد عرفت (بأي) (٤) شيء فضلنا كان أزهدنا في (الدنيا) (٥) -يعني: عمر بن الخطاب (٦).
Hazrat Abu Salamah narrates, he says that Hazrat Sa’d said: By Allah! He was not among us from the earliest Muslims, nor was he among us from the earliest emigrants. But I know by what thing he gained superiority over us. He was the most abstinent among us regarding worldly matters. By Hazrat Sa’d’s reference, he meant Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
