قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ، أَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ صُبَيْحٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ طَلَبَ الْآخِرَةِ ; جَمَعَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ شَمْلَهُ، وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا ; جَعَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْفَقْرَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَشَتَّتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ

✧ Whoever's intention is seeking the Hereafter, Allah, the Exalted, will gather his affairs, and the world will come to him submissively. And whoever's intention is seeking the world, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will place poverty before his eyes, scatter his affairs, and nothing of the world will come to him except what has been decreed for him.
