عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «أَوَّلُ صَلَاحِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْيَقِينُ وَالزُّهْدُ وَأَوَّلُ فَسَادِهَا الْبُخْلُ وَالْأَمَلُ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
'Amr bin Shu'aib Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The first piety of this ummah is conviction and asceticism. And the first trial of this ummah is niggardliness and tall hopes (of a long life)." [1]
