Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37270 — The words of Ibn Masud
٣٧٢٧٠ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمارة عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد عن عبد اللَّه قال: أنتم أكثر صياما وأكثر صلاة وأكثر (جهادًا) (١) من أصحاب رسول اللَّه ﷺ وهم كانوا خيرا منكم، قالوا: لم يا أبا عبد الرحمن؟ قال: كانوا أزهد في الدنيا وأرغب في الآخرة (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: You exceed the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them) in fasting, in prayer and in jihad, yet they were better than you. The people asked: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! Why is that? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: They had less desire for this world and greater desire for the Hereafter.
