Hadith #803
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ عَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عُمَرَ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فِي غَنَمٍ لَهُ خَارِجًا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ
هَذَا الرَّاكِبِ فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ أَرَضِيتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَعْرَابِيًّا فِي غَنَمِكَ وَالنَّاسُ يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِي الْمُلْكِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَضَرَبَ سَعْدٌ صَدْرَ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ اسْكُتْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحِبُّ الْعَبْدَ التَّقِيَّ الْغَنِيَّ الْخَفِيَّ

بكير بن مسمار
عامر بن سعد
English Translation
It was narrated from Amir ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that his brother Umar went to Sa'd among his sheep outside of Madinah. When Sa'd saw him, he said: 'I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this rider.' When he came to him, he said: 'O father, are you content to be a Bedouin among your sheep while the people are contesting over rulership in Madinah?' Sa'd struck his chest and said: 'Be quiet! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Indeed Allah loves the servant who is pious, self-sufficient, and hidden [from public attention].'
