وَعَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ قَالَ: لَيْسَ الزُّهْدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا بِلُبْسِ الْغَلِيظِ وَالْخَشِنِ وَأَكْلِ الْجَشِبِ إِنَّمَا الزُّهْدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا قِصَرُ الْأَمَلِ. رَوَاهُ فِي «شرح السّنة»
Sufyan Thawri Narrated from:
Zuhd (abstinence) or asceticism in the world is not that one should wear rough and coarse clothing and eat stale, dry bread. But, asceticism in the world is to have few hopes. [1]
