2. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from his father, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Malik bin ‘Atiya al-Ahmasi, from Ma’ruf bin Kharboudh, from Abu’l-Tufail, that he said
I heard the Commander of the Believers, Allah’s blessings be upon him, say: Abstinence in this world is to have short aspiration, thankfulness to every grace and piety with regards to (avoiding) what Allah has forbidden upon you.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن مالك بن عطية الأحمسي، عن معروف بن خربوذ، عن أبي الطفيل، قال
سمعت أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه يقول: الزهد في الدنيا قصر الامل. وشكر كل نعمة والورع عما حرم الله عليك.
