حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ عَنْ نَهْشَلٍ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
«مَنْ جَعَلَ الْهُمُومَ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا هَمَّ الْمَعَادِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ هَمَّ دُنْيَاهُ، وَمَنْ تَشَعَّبَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ فِي أَحْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُبَالِ اللَّهُ فِي أَىِّ أَوْدِيَتِهِ هَلَكَ».

I heard your Prophet ﷺ say: ”Whoever makes his concerns a single concern the concern for the Hereafter, Allah will suffice him regarding the concerns of his worldly life. But whoever is pulled apart by concerns in the conditions of this world, Allah will not care in which of its valleys he perishes.”
