16
16 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to me, saying: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, saying: Maʿmar informed us, from someone who heard al-Hasan say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“My Companions among the people are like salt in food.”
Then al-Hasan would say: “Alas, the people’s salt is gone.”
١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أنا مَعْمَرٌ، عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَثَلُ أَصْحَابِي فِي النَّاسِ كَمَثَلِ الْمِلْحِ فِي الطَّعَامِ» . ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْحَسَنُ: هَيْهَاتَ ذَهَبَ مِلْحُ الْقَوْمِ.
