118 – Abu Bakr ibn Abi al-Nadr narrated to me; Saʿīd ibn ʿĀmir narrated to us, from some of his companions, that Abū Ḥāzim said: “Allah’s favor in what He has kept from me of this world is greater than His favor in what He has granted me of it, for I have seen Him give it to certain people, and they were ruined by it.”
١١٨ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ: «نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ فِيمَا زَوَى عَنِّي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيَّ فِيمَا أَعْطَانِي مِنْهَا، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ أَعْطَاهَا قَوْمًا فَهَلَكُوا»
