"مَنْ تَكُن الدُّنْيَا نِيَّتَهُ، جَعَلَ اللهُ فَقْرَهُ بَينَ عَينَيهِ، وَشَتَّتَ اللهُ ضَيْعَتَهُ، وَلَا يَأتِهِ منْهَا إلا مَا كُتِب لَهُ، وَمَنْ تَكُن الآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ يَجْعَل اللهُ غِنَاهُ في قَلبه، ويَكُفَّ عليه ضَيعَتَةُ، وَتَأْتَهِ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ".

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever makes the Hereafter his main concern, Allah will place richness in his heart, gather his affairs together for him, and the world will come to him unwillingly. And whoever makes the world his main concern, Allah will place his poverty before his eyes, scatter his affairs, and nothing of the world will come to him except what has been decreed for him.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتِ الآخِرَةُ هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَجَمَعَ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَفَرَّقَ عَلَيْهِ شَمْلَهَ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ
“Zaid bin Thabit departed from Marwan at mid-day. I said: ‘He has not sent him out at this time of the day except for something he asked.’ So I asked him, and he said: ‘He asked me about some things we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever is focused only on this world, Allah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him.”
عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الْآخِرَةَ جَمَعَ اللهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا رَاغِمَةً وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الدُّنْيَا فَرَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever makes the Hereafter his intention, Allah will gather his affairs for him, place richness in his heart, and the world will come to him, humbled. And whoever makes the world his intention, Allah will disperse his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will get nothing of the world except what has been decreed for him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الْآخِرَةَ جَمَعَ اللهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا رَاغِمَةً وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الدُّنْيَا فَرَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ»
"مَنْ كَانَتِ الآخرَةُ هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ الله غِنَاهُ في قَلْبِه، وَجَمَعَ لَه شَمْلَه وأَتَتْه الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ، وَمَن كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ الله فَقْرَهُ بَينَ عَينَيه وَفَرَّقَ عَلَيهِ شَمْله، وَلَمْ يَأتِهِ مِن الدُّنْيَا إِلا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ".
"مَنْ كَانَتْ نيَّتُهُ الآخِرَةَ جَمعَ الله لَهُ شَمْلَهُ، وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ في قَلْبِهِ وَأَتتْهُ الدُّنْيَا رَاغِمَةً، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ الدُّنْيَا مَزَّقَ الله عَلَيهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَينَ عَينَيهِ وَلَمْ يَأتِهِ مِن الدُّنْيَا إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ".
[Machine] "Whoever's intention is to seek the worldly life, Allah will scatter his affairs, and place poverty between his eyes, and nothing of the world will come to him except what has been written for him. And whoever's intention is to seek the Hereafter, Allah will gather his affairs, place wealth in his heart, and the worldly life will come to him willingly."
"مَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا شَتَّتَ الله علَيه أَمْرَهُ، وَجَعَلَ الْفَقْر بَينَ عَينَيهِ، وَلَمْ يَأتِه مِن الدُّنْيَا إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ نِيَّتُهُ طَلَبَ الآخِرَةِ جَمَعَ الله شَمْلَهُ وَجَعَل غِنَاهُ في قَلْبِهِ، وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ".
