Hazrat Ata bin Yasar says: The unnecessary material blessings of the world were presented to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , so he صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Surely, I have no desire for you. So it (the world) said: If you have no desire for me, soon others besides you will desire me.

Hazrat Abdullah narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: My example and the example of this world is like that of a rider who stops under the shade of a tree on a very hot day, then leaves it and continues on his way (towards his actual destination).

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) says: The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) took my hand—or me—and said to me: O Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), live like a stranger or a traveler, and count yourself among the people of the graves. Hazrat Mujahid says: (After narrating this tradition) Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When morning comes, do not think about the evening to come, and when evening comes, do not think about the morning to come. And take benefit from your life before your death (comes), and take advantage of your health before your illness (comes), because surely you do not know what your name will be tomorrow (alive or dead).

37022 - Mujahid said: Abdullah ibn Umar said to me: When you wake up in the morning, do not concern yourself with the evening, and when you reach the evening, do not concern yourself with the morning. Take from your life before your death, and from your health before your sickness, for you do not know what your name will be tomorrow.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) passed by us while we were repairing our hut. He (peace be upon him) asked: What is this? I replied: It is our hut which we are fixing. So he (peace be upon him) said: The matter (of the Hour or death) will come even before this (is properly fixed). (Therefore, one should also be concerned about correcting and improving one's deeds in preparation for it.)

Hazrat Mustawrid, who belonged to Banu Fihr, says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: By Allah, the example of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is like that of one of you dipping his finger into the river and then taking it out; then let him see how much (water) adheres to his finger (so the amount of water that remains on the finger compared to the river is the same as the status of this world compared to the Hereafter).

A similar narration is also reported from Hazrat Mastoor (RA), but it does not contain the words "take out."

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The pillow on which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to recline was made of leather and stuffed with palm fibers.

Yahya bin Ja'dah narrates: Some companions of the Messenger of Allah (e) went to visit Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) during his illness and said to him: O Abu Abdullah, rejoice with the glad tidings that you will meet the Messenger of Allah (e) at the Pond of Kawthar on the Day of Resurrection. (Upon hearing this) Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: How can this be, when there is such luxury in my house, even though the Messenger of Allah (e) had informed us: For you, from this world, only as much is sufficient as the provision of a traveler.

Hazrat Shaqiq says: Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to visit his maternal uncle, Abu Hashim bin Utbah, when he was ill. His uncle began to weep. Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O my uncle, why are you weeping? Has the pain of the illness distressed you, or is it attachment to the world? He replied: It is neither of these things, but rather (I am distressed because) the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) advised us, saying: O Abu Hashim! You will surely receive wealth and riches just as other (conquering) nations receive, but for you, only one servant and one mount in the way of Allah (for jihad) will suffice. But I see that I have accumulated (much) more wealth than that.
