The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most enviable of my friends to me is a believer with few possessions, who has a portion of prayer, who worships his Lord well and obeys Him in secret, who is obscure among people so that fingers are not pointed at him, whose provision is just enough, and who endures that with patience." Then he tapped his hand and said, "His death comes swiftly, those who weep for him are few, and his estate is small."With this same chain, the Prophet ﷺ said, "My Lord offered to turn the valley of Mecca into gold for me, but I said, 'No, my Lord. Rather let me be full one day and hungry the next,'" and he said it three times or something similar, "for when I am hungry I humble myself before You and remember You, and when I am full I thank You and praise You."He said, this is a hasan hadith.
أخبرنا سويد بن نصر أخبرنا عبد الله بن المبارك عن يحيى بن أيوب عن عبيد الله بن زحر عن علي بن يزيد عن القاسم أبي عبد الرحمن
عن النبي ﷺ قال إن أغبط أوليائي عندي لمؤمن خفيف الحاذ ذو حظ من الصلاة أحسن عبادة ربه وأطاعه في السر وكان غامضا في الناس لا يشار إليه بالأصابع وكان رزقه كفافا فصبر على ذلك ثم نقر بيده فقال عجلت منيته قلت بواكيه قل تراثه وبهذا الإسناد عن النبي ﷺ قال عرض علي ربي ليجعل لي بطحاء مكة ذهبا قلت لا يا رب ولكن أشبع يوما وأجوع يوما وقال ثلاثا أو نحو هذا فإذا جعت تضرعت إليك وذكرتك وإذا شبعت شكرتك وحمدتك قال هذا حديث حسن
[Its chain is daif]. Ahmad narrated it (5/252) from the hadith of Ubaydullah bin Zahr with the same wording, and the majority of scholars declared him daif. Ali bin Yazid is daif (Taqrib). As for the second text, Ahmad narrated it (2/254) from the hadith of Ibn Mubarak with the same wording. There is also a report on this subject from Fadala bin Ubayd [to come at 2349].
