حدثنا الحسين بن سعيد قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عمير عن عبد الرحمان بن الحجاج قال سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: أفطر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عشية الخميس في مسجد قبا فقال: هل من شراب؟ فاتاه أوس بن خولة الأنصاري بعس من لبن مخيضة بعسل فلما وضعه على فيه نحاه ثم قال: شرابان ويكتفى بأحدهما عن صاحبه لا اشربه ولا أحرمه ولكني أتواضع لله فإنه من تواضع لله رفعه الله ومن تكبر خفضه الله ومن اقتصد في معيشته رزقه الله ومن بذر حرمه الله ومن أكثر ذكر الله أحبه الله.
1.Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, “Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated to us from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥajjāj who said, ‘I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, “The Messenger of Allah opened his fast on a Thursday night at Masjid Qubā. He asked, ‘Is there anything to drink?’ So Aws ibn Khawlah al-Anṣārī brought him a cup of buttermilk [mixed] with honey. When he placed it on his lips [and took a sip], he set it aside and then said, ‘Two drinks [in one] while any of them would suffice on its own. I will not drink it, but I do not forbid it. Rather, I humble myself before Allah, for indeed whoever humbles himself before Allah is elevated by Allah, and whoever is arrogant is abased by Allah. Whoever is moderate in his lifestyle is granted [an increase in] sustenance by Allah, but whoever is wasteful [and extravagant] is deprived by Allah. And whoever remembers Allah often is loved by Allah.’”
