وَعَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: لِأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ: مَالك لَا تَطْلُبُ كَمَا يَطْلُبُ فُلَانٌ؟ فَقَالَ: أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَمَامَكُمْ عَقَبَةً كَؤُودًا لَا يَجُوزُهَا المثقلون» . فَأحب أَن أتخفف لتِلْك الْعقبَة
Umm ad-Darda' Narrated from:
Sayyidah Umm Darda رضي الله عنها narrated that she asked Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه "What is wrong with you that you do not ask for things (wealth and position from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم or the sahabah) as certain people do?" So, he said, "I desist from it because) I had heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say, 'Ahead of you lies a different climb that the heavily laden cannot ascend,' So, I like that I should be light for that climb."
