"الدنْيا خَضِرَةٌ حُلوةٌ، وإِنَّ الله مْسْتَخلِفُكُمْ فيها، ونَاظِرٌ كَيفَ تَعْمَلُونَ، ألا فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيا، واتَّقوا النِّسَاءَ".

Collected by Muslim, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīProtect yourself from the trial of allurement of women
The world is sweet and green (alluring) and Allah has placed you all as successors on it in order to see how you act. So, protect yourself from ˹alluring deceptions˺ in this world and protect yourself from ˹the temptations˺ of women: in fact, the first trial for the people of Isrāʾīl was because of women.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا، فَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ۔ فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا، وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ: فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ فِتْنَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ۔»
“This world is fresh and sweet, and Allah will make your successive generations therein, so look at what you do and beware of (the temptations of) this world and beware of (the temptations of) women.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ خَطِيبًا فَكَانَ فِيمَا قَالَ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَنَاظِرٌ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ أَلاَ فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ
The world is sweet and green (alluring) and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerent in it in order to see how you act. So avoid the allurement of women: verily, the first trial for the people of Isra'il was caused by women. And in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ibn Bashshar the words are:" So that He should see how you act." (Using translation from Muslim 2742)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ فِتْنَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ حَفِظِ نَفْسِهِ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا وَآفَاتِهَا عِنْدَ انْبِسَاطِهِ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ

"إِنَّ الدنيا حُلوةٌ خَضِرَةٌ، وإنَّ الله مستخلفكم فيها، فناظرٌ كيف تعملون، فاتقوا الدنيا. واتَّقُوا النساءَ، فإِنَّ أَوَّلَ فتنةِ بنى إِسرائيل كانت فِي النساءِ".

"يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ: الدُّنْيَا حُلوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ، وَإِنَّ الله -تَعَالَى- مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فَنَاظِرٌ كيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ، أَلاَ فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا واتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ".
