al-Khuraybī reported that Sufyān said: “Be wary of wrath of Allah with regards to three things: الخُرَيْبِيُّ: عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: احْذَرْ سَخَطَ اللهِ فِي ثَلاَثٍ: That you fall short of what He commands you to do. احْذَرْ أَنْ تُقَصِّرَ فِيْمَا أَمَرَكَ، That He sees you displeased with what He has alloted to you (of worldly benefits). وَاحْذَرْ أَنْ يَرَاكَ وَأَنْتَ لاَ تَرْضَى بِمَا قَسَمَ لَكَ، That you seek something in this world and fail to get it, then you begin to be angry with your Lord.” وَأَنْ تَطْلُبَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، فَلاَ تَجِدْهُ، أَنْ تَسَخْطَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ. Khālid b. Nizār al-Aylī reported that Sufyān (al-Thawrī) said: al-zuhd (ie: asceticism) is of two categories: قَالَ خَالِدُ بنُ نِزَارٍ الأَيْلِيُّ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: الزُّهْدُ زُهْدَانِ: “zuhd farīḍah (ie: (abstaining from what is obligatory for you to abstain from)), and zuhd nāfilah (ie: abstaining from what is not obligatory for you to abstain from), زُهْدُ فَرِيْضَةٍ، وَزُهْدُ نَافِلَةٍ. (zuhd) farīḍah is for you to abstain from: pride, arrogance, domination, al-riyāʾ (ie: showing off with past and present deeds), and adorning oneself before the people (with the intention of boasting). فَالفَرْضُ: أَنْ تَدَعَ الفَخْرَ وَالكِبْرَ، وَالعُلُوَّ، وَالرِّيَاءَ، وَالسُّمْعَةَ، وَالتَّزَيُّنَ لِلنَّاسِ. As for zuhd al-nāfilah: it is for you to abstain from what Allah has granted you of al-ḥalāl (ie: lawful provisions). وَأَمَّا زُهدُ النَّافِلَةِ: فَأَنْ تَدَعَ مَا أَعْطَاكَ اللهُ مِنَ الحَلاَلِ، When you shun any of such then it becomes imperative on you that you shun it not because of anyone else but Allah.” فَإِذَا تَرَكتَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ، صَارَ فَرِيْضَةً عَلَيْكَ أَلاَّ تَترُكَهُ إِلاَّ للهِ. al-Ḏahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ 7/244 الذهبي، سير أعلام النبلاء ٧/٢٤٤ https://shamela.ws/book/10906/5127 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]
