131 – Aḥmad ibn al-Miqdām al-ʿIjlī narrated to us; Ḥammād ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Ayyūb, from Muḥammad: Whenever he heard someone longing for a worldly possession, he would say, “Allah has forbidden you from that and guided you to something better: ‘And do not covet that by which Allah has favored some of you above others…’ (Qur’an 4:32),” and he would recite all the way to the end of the verse.
١٣١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الرَّجُلَ يَتَمَنَّى شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا، قَالَ: " قَدْ نَهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ هَذَا، وَدَلَّكُمْ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ: ﴿وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ﴾ [النساء: ٣٢] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ "
