مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1129 — We fell into severe poverty, so my family told
حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَحْوَلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ، أَخِي بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: أُعْوِزْنَا إِعْوَازًا شَدِيدًا، فَأَمَرَنِي أَهْلِي أَنْ آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَسْأَلَهُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَكَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ مَا سَمِعْتً نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: «مِنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ أَعَفَّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا لَمْ نَدَّخِرْ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا إِنْ وَجَدْنَا» أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: لَأَسْتَغْنِيَنَّ فَيُغْنِينِي اللَّهُ، وَلِأَتَعَفَّفَنَّ فَيُعِفَّنِي اللَّهُ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَسْأَلِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَيْئًا
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We fell into severe poverty, so my family told me to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him for something. So I went, and the very first thing I heard the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say was: "Whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah makes him self-sufficient; whoever seeks to refrain from asking, Allah keeps him from it; and whoever asks us, if we have something, we will not hold anything back from him," or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. I said to myself: I will certainly be self-sufficient so that Allah makes me self-sufficient, and I will certainly refrain from asking so that Allah keeps me from it. So I did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything.
