حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ يَعْنِي أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ الرَّازِيَّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ عَنْ وَرْقَائَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانُوا يَحُجُّونَ وَلَا يَتَزَوَّدُونَ قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ کَانَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَحُجُّونَ وَلَا يَتَزَوَّدُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُتَوَکِّلُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَی الْآيَةَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1730
Ibn Abbas said: People used to perform Hajj and not bring provisions with them. Abu Masud said the inhabitants of Yemen or people of Yemen used to perform Hajj and not bring provisions with them. They would declare we put our trust in Allah. So Allah most high sent down “ and bring provisions, but the best provision is piety”.
