Asceticism
Arabic Text
انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلاَ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَهُوَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لاَ تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ
English Translation
“Look at those below you, and do not look at those above you, for that is more likely to prevent you from belittling Allah's blessings upon you.”

ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُحِبَّكَ اللَّهُ وَازْهَدْ فِيمَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ يُحِبَّكَ النَّاسُ
Be detached from the world and Allah will love you. Be detached from what people have and people will love you.
Narrated by Sahl ibn Sa'd
مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا بِحَذَافِيرِهَا
Whoever wakes up safe in his home, healthy in his body, with food for his day, it is as if the entire world has been gathered for him.
Narrated by Ubaidullah ibn Mihsan
مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ
Whoever makes the world his concern, Allah will scatter his affairs and place poverty before his eyes, and nothing of the world will come to him except what was written for him.
