HADIS KE 31 IMAM NAWAWI: HAKIKAT ZUHUD

Daripada Abi al-Abbas Sahl bin Sa’ad al-Sa’idi r.a berkata, bahawa seseorang datang kepada Nabi SAW seraya berkata:

Maksudnya: “Wahai Rasulullah, tunjukkanlah saya suatu pekerjaan yang jika dikerjakan nescaya saya dicintai Allah dan dicintai umat manusia.’ Rasulullah SAW bersabda: ‘Zuhudlah engkau akan dunia, nescaya Allah akan menyintaimu, dan zuhudlah engkau akan apa yang ada pada manusia, nescaya mereka mencintaimu.”

(Riwayat Ibn Majah no. 4102 dan al-Baghawi dalam Syarhus Sunnah)

On the authority of Abu al-'Abbas Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said:

A man came to the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, direct me to an act which if I do it, [will cause] Allah to love me and people to love me." He, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, answered: "Be indifferent to the world and Allah will love you; be indifferent to what people possess and they will love you."
