al-Zuhd wa Sifat al-Zahidin 8

Abu Said ibn al-Arabi

«قَالَ: «الزُّهْدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا قِصَرُ الْأَمَلِ، لَيْسَ بِأَكْلِ الْغَلِيظِ، وَلَا بِلُبْسِ الْعَبَاءِ»»

Its text does not say these are the Prophet’s words ﷺ, so they are not framed in gold.

The text as printed

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: «الزُّهْدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا قِصَرُ الْأَمَلِ، لَيْسَ بِأَكْلِ الْغَلِيظِ، وَلَا بِلُبْسِ الْعَبَاءِ»
