Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْوَالِبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ - وَلاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَفَعَهُ - قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلأْ صَدْرَكَ غِنًى وَأَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ مَلأْتُ صَدْرَكَ شُغْلاً وَلَمْ أَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Nasr ibn ‘Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us; ‘Abdullah ibn Dawud narrated to us, from ‘Imran ibn Za’idah, from his father, from Abu Khalid al-Walibi, from Abu Hurayrah—who said, and I can only think he attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ)—that Allah, Glorified is He, says: “Son of Adam, devote yourself to worshipping Me; I will fill your heart with richness and relieve your poverty. If you do not, I will fill your heart with preoccupation and will not relieve your poverty.”
