Hadith Number: 603
603/779 عن عبد الله [ هو ابن مسعود]قال:" إذا طلب احدكم الحاجة فليطلبها طلبا يسيرا ؛ فإنما له ما قدر له، ولا ياتي احدكم صاحبه فيمدحه، فيقطع ظهره".
603/779 From Abdullah [ هو ابن مسعود] who said: "If one of you seeks a need, let him seek it gently; for he will only have what has been decreed for him. And let none of you come to his companion and praise him, for he will break his back."
