It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves his worldly life harms his Hereafter, and whoever loves his Hereafter harms his worldly life. So give preference to that which is everlasting (the Hereafter) over that which is perishing (the world)."

Benefit: It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever seeks the world has harmed his Hereafter, and whoever seeks the Hereafter has harmed his world."
