حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَأَلَ مَسْأَلَةً عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى اسْتَكْثَرَ بِهَا مِنْ رَضْفِ جَهَنَّمَ قَالُوا مَا ظَهْرُ غِنًى قَالَ عَشَاءُ لَيْلَةٍ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) said: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated: `Whoever asks people to give him when he is independent of means is asking for more red hot stones of Hell` They said: what does independent of means mean? He said: “Having sufficient food for the evening (dinner).”
