حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ , وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ , أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ , يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ , عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ هُدِيَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ , وَرُزِقَ الْكَفَافَ وَقَنَعَ بِهِ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “He has succeeded who is guided to Islam and is granted sufficient provision and is content with it.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ Islam is the greatest wealth because it grants Paradise in the Hereafter, and there is no blessing greater than that.

➋ The meaning of sustenance (rizq) as "kafaf" is such provision by which basic needs are fulfilled without extravagance, and there is no need to incur debt.

➌ Success is not the accumulation of heaps of wealth; rather, contentment and gratitude for the existing sustenance is the real and greatest wealth and the true success.

Explanation:
1:
Success in the Hereafter depends solely and exclusively on Islam. If, unfortunately, someone is deprived of the wealth of Islam, then all the treasures of the world cannot grant him success in the Hereafter. Similarly, the peace and tranquility found in a life of necessity and balance can never be attained by a person who desires to accumulate excessive wealth. In other words, attaining contentment and self-sufficiency (istighna) along with sustenance according to one’s needs is a guarantee of peace and tranquility.
