Bulugh al-Maram #1671
The Comprehensive Book
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
1473: وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: { جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ أَحَبَّنِي اَللَّهُ, وَأَحَبَّنِي اَلنَّاسُ. قَالَ: اِزْهَدْ فِي اَلدُّنْيَا يُحِبُّكَ اَللَّهُ, وَازْهَدْ فِيمَا عِنْدَ اَلنَّاسِ يُحِبُّكَ اَلنَّاسُ } رَوَاهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَه, وَسَنَدُهُ حَسَنٌ 1 .1 - رواه ابن ماجه (4102) ولو قال الحافظ" وهو حسن" لكان أدق من قوله:" وسنده حسن" إذ الحديث له شواهد؛ ولذلك حسنه غير واحد كالنووي، والعراقي والهيثمي، والألباني، أما سند ابن ماجه، ففيه خالد بن عمرو، وهو وضاع.
Sahl bin Sa'd (RAA) narrated, A man came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah`s Messenger (ﷺ), direct me to a deed which if I do it, I shall be loved by Allah and by people.” He replied, “If you practice abstinence in this world, Allah will love you, and if you abstain from (desiring) what people have, they will love you.” Related by Ibn Majah and others with a good chain of narrators.
