Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ دِينَارٍ يَقُولُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ يَعْنِي مَالِكَ بْنَ دِينَارٍ زَاهِدٌ إِنَّمَا الزَّاهِدُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الَّذِي أَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا فَتَرَكَهَا.
English Translation
Abdullah narrated to us: Fitr ibn Hammad narrated to us: My father narrated to us, who said: I heard Malik ibn Dinar saying: People say Malik ibn Dinar, meaning Malik ibn Dinar, is an ascetic. The real ascetic is only Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, to whom the world came and he abandoned it.
