"عَنْ علِىِّ بن أَبِى حَنْظَلةَ مولى عَلِىِّ بنِ أبى طالبٍ، عن أبيهِ، عن علىِّ بن أَبى طالب أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَشَدَّ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَصْلَتَانِ: اتَّبَاعُ الْهَوَى، وَطُولُ الأَمَلِ، فَأمَّا اتَّبَاعُ الْهَوَى: فإنَّهُ يَعْدِلُ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وأَمَّا طُولُ الأَمَلِ: فَالْحُبُّ لِلدُّنْيَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلاَ إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى يُعْطِى الدُّنْيا مَنْ يُحبُّ، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ، وَإِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا لَهُ أَعْطَاهُ الإيمَانَ، أَلاَ إِنَّ للدِّينِ أَبْنَاءً، وَلِلدُّنْيَا أَبْنَاء فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الدِّينِ، وَلاَ تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، أَلاَ إِنَّ الدُّنَّيا قَد ارْتَحَلَتْ مُوَلِّيةً وَالآخِرَةَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَتْ مُقْبِلَةً، أَلاَ وِإنَّكُمْ فِى يَوْمِ عَمَلٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حِسَابٌ، أَلاَ! وَإِنَّكُمْ تُوشِكُونَ فِى يَوْمِ حِسَاب وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ عَمَلٌ".

"On the authority of 'Ali ibn Abi Hanzalah, mawla of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, from his father, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The two things I fear most for you are following desire and long hope. As for following desire, it turns one away from the truth. As for long hope, it makes one love this world. Then he said: Verily, Allah the Exalted gives this world to whoever He loves and to whoever He hates, but when He loves a servant He gives him faith. Verily, the religion has its children and this world has its children, so be among the children of the religion and do not be among the children of this world. Verily, this world has departed turning its back, and the Hereafter has come forward approaching. Verily, you are today on a day of deeds with no reckoning, and verily you will soon be on a day of reckoning with no deeds."
