سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ بَطْحَاءُ مَكَّةَ ذَهَباً فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ لَا وَ لَكِنْ أَشْبَعُ يَوْماً وَ أَجُوعُ يَوْماً فَإِذَا شَبِعْتُ حَمِدْتُكَ وَ شَكَرْتُكَ وَ إِذَا جُعْتُ دَعَوْتُكَ وَ ذَكَرْتُكَ.

Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Abdul Mo’min Al-Ansary, who has said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) having said: ‘The Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) said: ‘There were presented to me ﷺ Bat’ha and Makka of gold. So I ﷺ said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! No, but I ﷺ would like to satiate one day and remain hungry one day, for if I ﷺ am satiated I ﷺ would thank You (azwj), and if I ﷺ am hungry, I ﷺ would supplicate to You (azwj) and Remember You (azwj)’.
