2476. Yazīd bin Ziyād narrated from Muḥammad bin Ka‘b Al- Qurāzī who said: "Someone who heard from 'Alī bin Abī Tālīb narrated that he said: 'I was sitting in a gathering with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when Muṣ'ab bin 'Umayr appeared before us, wearing nothing but a Burdah patched with some animal furs. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw him he began crying because of the good life he previously had compared to the state that he was in that day. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'How will you people be, when the late morning comes upon one of you while wearing a Hullah, and at the end of the day he is in (another) Hullah, when a platter is placed in front of him while another is removed, and you cover your houses just as the Ka'bah is covered?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! On that day we will be better than we are today, devoting ourselves to worship, satisfied with our good fortune.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'No, today you are better than you will be on that day.'"(Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. This Yazīd bin Ziyād is [Ibn Maisarah and he is] from Al-Madinah. Mālik bin Anas and more than one of the people of knowledge other than him reported from him. (As for) Yazīd bin Ziyād Ad-Dimashqī, the one who reported from Az-Zuhri, Waki' and Marwān bin Mu'āwiyah reported from him. (As for) Yazīd bin Abī Ziyād from Al-Kūfah, Sufyān, Shu'bah, Ibn 'Uyayinah and more than one of the A'immah reported from him.

٢٤٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌مَنْ سَمِعَ ‌عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّا لَجُلُوسٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ طَلَعَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ» مَا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بُرْدَةٌ لَهُ مَرْقُوعَةٌ بِفَرْوٍ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكَى لِلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ وَالَّذِي هُوَ الْيَوْمَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا غَدَا أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حُلَّةٍ، وَرَاحَ فِي حُلَّةٍ، وَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ صَحْفَةٌ، وَرُفِعَتْ أُخْرَى، وَسَتَرْتُمْ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ، نَتَفَرَّغُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ وَنُكْفَى الْمُؤْنَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ هُوَ ابْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ، وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ. وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، رَوَى عَنْهُ وَكِيعٌ وَمَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ كُوفِيٌّ، رَوَى عَنْهُ سُفْيَانُ وَشُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ.

Commentary

The Hadith tells us that, in general, man would do well to cultivate the quality of disinclination towards a life of worldly affluence, ostentation and luxury, since abundance of wealth and opulence has the effect of driving man into the love of the world and of its attractions, rather than engaging them in doing pious acts of worship and devotion. It is for this reason that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ declared that the Companions' life of frugality and austerity was better for them since that mode of life would facilitate their release from the hardships of reckoning on the Day of Judgement.
