حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ، عَنْ نَهْشَلٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ، صَانُوا الْعِلْمَ وَوَضَعُوهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ لَسَادُوا بِهِ أَهْلَ زَمَانِهِمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ بَذَلُوهُ لأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لِيَنَالُوا بِهِ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ فَهَانُوا عَلَيْهِمْ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " مَنْ جَعَلَ الْهُمُومَ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا هَمَّ آخِرَتِهِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ هَمَّ دُنْيَاهُ وَمَنْ تَشَعَّبَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ فِي أَحْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُبَالِ اللَّهُ فِي أَىِّ أَوْدِيَتِهَا هَلَكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنَا خَازِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ، - وَكَانَ ثِقَةً - ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ .

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad and al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Muʿāwiyah al-Naṣrī, from Nahshal, from al-Ḍaḥḥāk, from al-Aswad ibn Yazīd, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, who said: If the people of knowledge had safeguarded knowledge and placed it with those worthy of it, they would have led the people of their time by means of it. But they offered it to people of worldly means to gain something of this world through it, so they became insignificant in their eyes. I heard your Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “Whoever makes his concerns one concern, the concern for his Hereafter, God will suffice him against the worries of this world. Whoever lets his concerns scatter among the affairs of this world, God will not care in which of its valleys he perishes.” Abū al-Ḥasan said: Ḥāzim ibn Yaḥyā narrated to us: Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr said: Ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Muʿāwiyah al-Naṣrī, who was trustworthy; then he mentioned a report with similar wording through its chain.
