2349. Faḍālah bin ‘Ubaid narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: “Glad tidings to whoever is guided to Islam, his livelihood was sufficient and he was satisfied.” (Hasan) [He said:] Abū Hānī’ Al-Khawlānī’s (a narrator in the chain) name is Humaid bin Hānī’. Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is [Hasan] Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٣٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيَّ ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «طُوبَى» لِمَنْ هُدِيَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا وَقَنَعَ. وَأَبُو هَانِئٍ اسْمُهُ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The purpose of this Hadīth is to emphasize the fact that a person’s success in this world and the next rests in three things, namely that (i) he is an obedient servant of Allāh and treads the path favored by Him, (ii) has as much food as is sufficient for him so that he feels no need of other’s help, and (iii) he is content with what Allāh has provided him with.
