al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 7870

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “How excellent is this world as an abode for the one who takes provision from it for his Hereafter until he pleases his Lord ﷻ. And how evil is this abode for the one whom it distracts from his Hereafter and falls short of pleasing his Lord. When a servant says, ‘May Allah make the world ugly,’ the world says, ‘May Allah make ugly the one who disobeys his Lord.’”
