Arabic (Original)
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.
English Translation
Sa'd's son Umar went to visit Sa'd at his sheep outside Madinah. When Sa'd saw him, he said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of this rider.' When Umar came to him, he said: 'O father, are you content to be a Bedouin among your sheep while the people are competing for power in Madinah?' Sa'd struck Umar's chest and said: 'Be quiet! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Allah loves the servant who is pious, self-sufficient, and unnoticed.'
