226 – Muhammad said: ʿUbayd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Taymī narrated to me, saying, “ʿUqaybah ibn Faḍalah related to me, from one of his teachers, who said: ‘I found in one of the earlier writings: “No people have ever approached Allah with anything better than prolonged hunger.”’”
٢٢٦ - قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْبَةُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ: " قَرَأْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ: مَا عَامَلَ اللَّهَ قَوْمٌ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ طُولِ الْجُوعِ "
