Al-ZuhdAhmad Ibn Hanbal

ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father conveyed to me; Muhammad ibn Jaʿfar related to us; Shuʿbah transmitted, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, from a shaykh (elder), from Abu al-Dardaʾ, who said:

“I cherish poverty because it makes me humble before my Lord. I welcome death out of longing to meet my Lord. And I accept illness as an atonement for my sins.”

٨١١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: أُحِبُّ الْفَقْرَ تَوَاضُعًا لِرَبِّي – Exalté soit-Il –، وَأُحِبُّ الْمَوْتَ اشْتِيَاقًا إِلَى رَبٍّي – Exalté soit-Il –، وَأُحِبُّ الْمَرَضَ تَكْفِيرًا لِخَطَايَايَ "
