Sahih al-Bukhari #6188
To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which
Allah will bring forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"The pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet for
a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from
his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I (am present)." Abu Sa`id added:
We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Good never brings
forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation
which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it,
except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is
full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to
eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way
and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be
like the one who eats but is never satisfied."

ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ وَزِينَةٌۭ وَتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَٰدِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ ٱلْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصْفَرًّۭا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَٰمًۭا ۖ وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌۭ شَدِيدٌۭ وَمَغْفِرَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٌۭ ۚ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ
Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.
