1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from his father, from Muhammed bin Umar, from his father, from Nasr bin Qabous, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the meaning of the narration: «The one who is pleased from Allah, Exalted is He, with little sustenance, Allah, Exalted is He, will be pleased with him for little deeds.» He said: That he obeys Him in some and disobeys Him in some.
