It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among his companions and said: "Do you fear poverty and destitution? Is your worry the world? Indeed, Allah Almighty is going to grant you victory over the kingdoms of Persia and Rome. The world will pour upon you in such abundance that nothing will mislead you except this very world."
