Tafsir al-Kifaf.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the hadith that follows it, which carries the same meaning as the previous one, it is his statement: It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He Is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his want and been made contented by Allah with what He has given him. قد أفلح من أسلم ورزق كفافا وقنّعه الله بما أتاه
Sahih Muslim 1054
It was narrated by Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah. He said regarding the interpretation of *kifaf*: *Kifaf* is that which has no surplus beyond sufficiency. That is to say, the sustenance of *kifaf* is what suffices its owner; it does not fall short of his need, nor does it exceed it. This is the sustenance of *kifaf* to which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) attributed to its owner in the second hadith that he was guided to Islam and that he succeeded. This is *kifaf*. However, the author mentions a narration from some hadith scholars that contains strangeness.
