Salamah ibn Shabib narrated to me, saying: Sahl ibn ʿAsim narrated to us, from Khallad ibn Baziʿ, from Suhayl ibn Abi Hazm, who said: I heard Malik ibn Dinar relate that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz said: “I have never given up anything of this world without Allah replacing it in my heart with something better—namely deeper renunciation (zuhd); and every favour Allah bestows upon my religion is superior.”
