Chapter 11 of 41 · 2 units
وَمِنْ آدَابِهِمُ ٱلْوُقُوفُ مَعَ ٱلْكِفَايَةِ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَحَذْفُ ٱلْفُضُولِ مِمَّا لَهُمْ عَنْهُ بُدٌّ.
Among their etiquettes is being content with sufficiency in all things and discarding what they can do without.
١٣ - أَخْبَرَنَا ٱلْحَاكِمُ أَبُو عَبْدِ ٱللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْحَافِظُ ﵀، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ٱلْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ ٱلْوَلِيدِ ٱلْبَغْدَادِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ ٱلْجَبَّارِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ ٱللَّهِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: «مَا يَكْفِينِي مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا؟» قَالَ: «مَا يَسْتُرُ عَوْرَتَكَ وَيَسُدُّ جَوْعَتَكَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْتٌ فَذَاكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حِمَارٌ فَبَخٍ بَخٍ، فَلَقٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَجَرَّةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ، وَأَنْتَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَمَّا فَوْقَ ٱلْإِزَارِ.»
Hadith 13: Al-Ḥākim Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ – may Allah have mercy on him – informed us: Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq ibn Ayyūb al-Faqīh narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Walīd al-Baghdādī informed us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbār narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī narrated to us on the authority of his father Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd Allāh, on the authority of Muʿāwiya ibn Ḥayda who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah – may Allah bless him and grant him peace – and asked, “What suffices me from this world?” He said: “Whatever covers your nakedness and satisfies your hunger. If you have a house, then good, and if a donkey, then excellent! A piece of bread and a jug of water [is enough], and you are held accountable for what is above the izār.”
