حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ قُلْتُ مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلَّا لِشَيْئٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَائَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ کَانَتْ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا کُتِبَ لَهُ وَمَنْ کَانَتْ الْآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4105
'Abdur-Rahman bin Aban bin 'Uthman bin "Affan narrated that his father said: "Zaid bin Thabit departed from Marwan at mid-day. I said: 'He has not sent him out at this time of the the day except for something he asked.' So I asked him, and he said: 'He asked me about some things we heard from the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H. I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say: "Whoever is focused only on this world, Allah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him." (Sahih)
