177 – Al-Qāsim ibn Hāshim narrated to me; he said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Ḥimṣī informed us; he said: al-Awzāʿī told me; he said: Yaḥyā ibn Abī Kathīr narrated to me that he said: “A person’s scrupulous piety is not truly sound until he stands within reach of something he covets and could obtain, yet abandons it for Allah’s sake.”
