It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever's worry and grief is only about the world, Allah the Exalted scatters his affairs, places poverty and neediness before his eyes, and he receives from the world only that which has been decreed for him. (But on the contrary) whoever's concern is for the Hereafter, Allah the Exalted brings his affairs together, enriches his heart, and the world comes to him humbled (according to what is decreed for him)."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is concerned about the Hereafter, Allah makes his heart content and self-sufficient, organizes his affairs, and the world comes to him humbled and submissive. And whoever is concerned only about the world, Allah places poverty and need before his eyes, scatters his affairs, and he receives nothing from the world except what has already been decreed for him."
