حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ثَنَا الْجُنَيْدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي وَهْرَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« تَفَرَّغُوا مِنْ هُمُومِ الدُّنْيَا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّهِ ; أَفْشَى اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتَهُ، وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الْآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرَ هَمِّهِ ; جَمَعَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ أُمُورَهُ، وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَمَا أَقْبَلَ عَبْدٌ بِقَلْبِهِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا جَعَلَ قُلُوبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُقَادُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْوُدِّ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، وَكَانَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَسْرَعَ

✧ Free yourselves, as much as you can, from the concerns of this world. For whoever makes the world his greatest concern, Allah, the Exalted, will scatter his affairs and place poverty before his eyes. And whoever makes the Hereafter his greatest concern, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will gather his affairs together, place contentment in his heart, and whenever a servant turns his heart to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, the hearts of the believers will be drawn to him with love and mercy, and Allah, the Exalted, will hasten to him every good.
