حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ الدُّورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَكَانَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ " , قَالَ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .

Brief Explanation
1؎: The success of 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 sufficiency and balance can never be attained by a person who desires to amass excessive wealth. In other words, considering contentment (qana‘ah) and self-sufficiency (istighna) along with sustenance according to one’s needs as complete is a guarantee of peace and tranquility.

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.
