Hadith #70
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَارْحَمْ غُرْبَتِي وَارْزُقْنِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا فَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا لَأَنَا أَسْعَدُ بِمَا قُلْتَ مِنْكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّ
مَ يَقُولُ { فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ } يَعْنِي الظَّالِمَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ فِي مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ فَذَلِكَ الْهَمُّ وَالْحَزَنُ { وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ } قَالَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا { وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ } قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'A man entered the mosque of Damascus and said: "O Allah, comfort my loneliness, have mercy on my being far from home, and provide me with a righteous companion." Abu al-Darda' heard him and said: "If you are truthful, then I am more happy about what you said than you are. I heard the Messenger of Allah ß say: "The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, rather they left behind knowledge. Whoever gains it, gains a great fortune.""'
