حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ وَاللَّفْظُ لِإِسْحَقَ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ حَدَّثَنَا و قَالَ إِسْحَقُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بُکَيْرُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ کَانَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فِي إِبِلِهِ فَجَائَهُ ابْنُهُ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الرَّاکِبِ فَنَزَلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَزَلْتَ فِي إِبِلِکَ وَغَنَمِکَ وَتَرَکْتَ النَّاسَ يَتَنَازَعُونَ الْمُلْکَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَضَرَبَ سَعْدٌ فِي صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ اسْکُتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعَبْدَ التَّقِيَّ الْغَنِيَّ الْخَفِيَّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7432
It is reported on the authority of Amir b. Sa'd that Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas was in the fold of his camels that his son 'Umar came to him. When Sa'd saw him he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the mischief of this rider. And as he got down he said to him: You are busy with your camels and your sheep and you have abandoned people who are contending with one another for kingdom. Sa'd struck his chest and said: Keep quite. I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Allah loves the servant who is God-conscious and is free from want and is hidden (from the view of people).
