186 – Hamzah narrated to me; he said: ʿAbdūn informed us; he said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Wahīb then related, saying: Jesus (peace be upon him) said, “Four qualities rarely combine in a single person without inspiring wonder: silence—which is the first step in worship; humility before Allah; detachment from the world; and possessing little.”
