عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيُسْلِمُ لِشَيْءٍ يُعْطَاهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، فَلَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ وَأَعَزَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man would come to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and accept Islam solely so that he might gain some worldly benefit, but before evening had fallen, Islam would become more beloved and honorable to him than the world and all that it contains.
