10.ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughīrah narrated from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Zayd who attributed the statement to Amīr al-Muʾminīn (a) that when he was asked, “What is detachment (al-zuhd) from the world?” He said, “
[It pertains to] what is forbidden thereof – so restrain yourself from it and shun it.”[1]
عبد الله بن المغيرة عن إسماعيل أبى زيادة يرفع الحديث إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام قال
قيل له: ما الزهد في الدنيا؟ قال: حرامها فتكتبه.
