Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُحْصِي شَيْئًا وَأَكِيلُهُ قَالَ يَا أَسْمَاءُ لَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ فَمَا أَحْصَيْتُ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَلَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَمَا نَفِدَ عِنْدِي مِنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَخْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Abu Bakr al-Hanafi told us: al-Dahhak b. Uthman told us: Wahb b. Kaysan told me: I heard Asma' bint Abi Bakr say: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was counting something and measuring it out. He said, 'O Asma', do not count, lest God count against you.' She said: I never counted anything after the saying of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), whatever went out from me or came in to me, and nothing of God's provision was exhausted with me but God, Mighty and Majestic, replaced it.
