[Machine] And the saying of Allah, the Most High: "Do they think that in what We extend to them of wealth and children" unto His saying, the Most High: "Besides that, they are [actually] working for it." Ibn 'Uyaynah said, they will not achieve it unless they work for it.

وَقَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {أَيَحْسِبُونَ أَنَّ مَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {مِنْ دُونِ ذَلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ}. قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوهَا لابد مِنْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهَا.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Wealth is not in having many possessions, but rather (true) wealth is feeling sufficiency in the soul."  

البخاري:٦٤٤٦حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَصِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ
