Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 20553a
"مَنْ أُشْرِبَ قَلْبُه حُبَّ الدنيا ألتَاطَ منها بثَلاث: شَقَاءٍ لا يَنْفَدُ عناه، وحِرْصٍ لا يَبْلغُ غِنَاه، وأَمل لا يَبْلغُ مُنتَهاهُ، فالدنيا طالبةٌ ومطْلُوبةٌ، فَمَنْ طَلَب الدنيا [طلَبَتْهُ الآخِرةُ حتى يَأْتِيَهُ الموتُ فيأْخُذَهَا، ومَنْ طلبَ الآخرةَ طلبتْهُ الدنيا] حتى يَسْتَوْفِيَ منها رِزْقَهُ".

"Whoever's heart is saturated with love of the world becomes attached to it through three things: a hardship whose toil never ends, a greed whose wealth he never reaches, and a hope whose end he never reaches. The world seeks and is sought. Whoever seeks the world, the Hereafter seeks him until death comes to him and takes it, and whoever seeks the Hereafter, the world seeks him until he receives his provision in full."
