"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".

"Whoever makes the Hereafter his goal, Allah makes his heart rich, and organizes his affairs, and the world comes to him whether it wants to or not. And whoever makes the world his goal, Allah puts his poverty right before his eyes, and disorganizes his affairs, and the world does not come to him, except what has been decreed for him."

“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.”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us in the Mosque of Khaif. He praised Allah and mentioned Him as He deserves. Then he said, "Whoever makes the Hereafter his main concern, Allah will bring together his affairs, and will make him content with his wealth in this life. As for someone whose main concern is this world, Allah will scatter his affairs, and will make poverty appear before his eyes. And he will not get from this world, except what was already written for him."

[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.
