[Machine] Abu Darda said, "O my son, do not follow your sight every time you see something in people, for whoever follows his sight every time he sees something in people, his grief will increase and his anger will not be healed. And whoever recognizes the blessings of Allah only in his food or drink, then his knowledge has decreased and his punishment is imminent. And whoever is not wealthy in this world, then he has no world."
