حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مَرْحُومٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي شُمَيْلَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ الْقُبَائِيِّ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: مَنْ أَصْبَحَ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ، مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ، عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ يَوْمِهِ، فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا.

Bishr ibn Marhum narrated to us: Marwan ibn Mu‘awiya narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Shumayla al-Ansari al-Quba’i, from Salama ibn ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Mihsan al-Ansari, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘Whoever begins the day secure among his people, sound in body, and with that day’s food at hand, it is as though the whole world has been gathered for him.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The phrase آمنا في سربه refers to being safe in one’s surroundings or among one’s people; it does not explicitly say property. حيزت له الدنيا is an image of the whole world being gathered or secured for him.
آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ
سرب may refer to a person’s group, household, or surroundings; the witness specifies property, which is not explicit in the Arabic.
Which sense of سرب best fits this wording: household, community, or general surroundings?
