Hadith 26, 40 Hadith Qudsi
عَنْ أَبي أُمامةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَن النَّبِيّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ أَوْلِيَائي عِنْدِي لَمُوْمِنُ خَفِيفُ الخَاذِ ذُو حَظِّ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَتَ رَبِّهِ وَ أَطَاعَهُ فِي السَّرِّ وَ كَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لا يُشارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالأَصابِعِ وَ كَانَ رِزْقُهُ كفافًا فَصَبَرَ عَلى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ نَفَضَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ قَلَّتْ بَواكِيهِ قَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ رواه الترمذي (وكذالك أحمد و ابن ماجه) وإسنَاده حسن
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported from the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace):
Allah, Might and Majesty belong to Him, said: ‘Among My most admired devoted servants is a believer of modest means, [unclear in the captured Arabic: خَفِيفُ الخَاذِ], who has a share in prayer, worships his Lord well, and obeys Him in private. He is obscure among people, not pointed out with fingers, and his provision is just enough, yet he is patient with that.’ Then he moved his hand and said, ‘His death comes early; few mourn him, and his estate is small.’
It was related by al-Tirmidhi (and likewise by Ahmad and Ibn Majah); its chain is fair.

قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ أَوْلِيَائي عِنْدِي لَمُوْمِنُ خَفِيفُ الخَاذِ ذُو حَظِّ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَتَ رَبِّهِ وَ أَطَاعَهُ فِي السَّرِّ وَ كَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لا يُشارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالأَصابِعِ وَ كَانَ رِزْقُهُ كفافًا فَصَبَرَ عَلى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ نَفَضَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ قَلَّتْ بَواكِيهِ قَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ
The Arabic passage contains malformed or uncertain forms, especially لَمُوْمِنُ خَفِيفُ الخَاذِ and أحسن عبادتَ رَبِّهِ. The English witness supplies a smooth reading and an interpretive footnote, but cannot establish the Arabic wording. The Arabic metadata reports footnote markers not represented as readable note text in this block.
Can this source be checked against its underlying Arabic edition by a qualified reader before the unclear wording is resolved?
رواه الترمذي (وكذالك أحمد و ابن ماجه) وإسنَاده حسن
The witness includes an explanatory note absent from the Arabic text, and the captured Arabic source is not reliable enough to determine how the marker aligns with that note.
Can the note and the two Arabic footnote markers be matched to the correct source edition?
