[Machine] His owner is not safe from pride and arrogance. They said, "What if he is safe?" He said, "His preoccupation with his own reform distracts him from remembering Allah, the Most High."  

الزهد لأحمد:٤٧٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أبِي حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ كَانَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَقُولُ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا أَصْلُ كُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ وَالْمَالُ فِيهِ دَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ قَالُوا وَمَا دَاؤُهُ؟ قَالَ

لَا يَسْلَمُ صَاحِبُهُ مِنَ الْفَخْرِ وَالْخُيَلَاءِ قَالُوا فَإِنْ سَلِمَ؟ قَالَ يَشْغَلُهُ إِصْلَاحُهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
