Arabic text

4138 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ هُدِيَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَرُزِقَ الْكَفَافَ، وَقَنَعَ بِهِ»

Commentary

Islam is the biggest form of wealth in this world, since Paradise in Hereafter could be gained only by Islam, and no wealth is more precious than Paradise. 'Sufficient provision' means the amount of the livelihood that suffices one's needs if he does not spend it lavishly, and he is not compelled to borrow money from others. Success is not in accumulating heaped-up sums of money, rather being thankful for what is at hand and being content with what exists is the great wealth.
