[Machine] "Narrated by Ibn Abbas, whom I consider to have heard it directly from the Prophet ﷺ, he said: There are two types of people, neither of whom will have their desires fulfilled: one who is consumed by his desire for seeking knowledge, and one who is consumed by his desire for seeking worldly possessions."
