hadith 3963
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Truly Allah, out of His wisdom and grace, placed bliss and happiness in conviction and contentment, and placed worry and sorrow in doubt and discontentment.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : إنّ اللّهَ ـ بحُكْمِهِ وفَضْلِه ـ جَعلَ الرَّوحَ والفَرحَ في اليقينِ والرِّضا ، وجَعلَ الهَمَّ والحُزنَ في الشَّكِّ والسُّخْطِ .

hadith 3964
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘O people! This is the house of pain and not the house of joy, and the house of writhing [in pain] not the house of repose. So he who knows it will neither rejoice for ease and nor will he grieve for misfortune.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : أيُّها النّاسُ ، هذهِ دارُ تَرَحٍ لا دارُ فَرَحٍ ، ودارُ الْتِواءٍ لا دارُ اسْتِواءٍ ، فمَن عَرَفها لَم يَفْرَحْ لِرَجاءٍ ، ولَم يَحْزَنْ لِشَقاءٍ .

hadith 3966
Ibn Abbas narrated, ‘I have not profited by any speech after the Messenger of Allah (SAWA) more than by a letter written by Ali b. Abi Talib (AS). He wrote to me, saying
“But now, indeed man grieves for having missed that which he would not have attained anyway, and is overjoyed at attaining that which he would not have missed anyway. So, let your happiness be for what you attain for your Hereafter, and let your regret be for what you miss of it. Do not be happy for what you attain for this world, nor regret sorrowfully what you miss from it, and let your concern be for what comes after death, and peace be with you.”
عن ابنِ عبّاسٍ
ما انْتَفَعْتُ بكلامٍ بَعدَ رسولِ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) كانْتِفاعي بكِتابٍ كَتَبَهُ عليُّ بنُ أبي طالبٍ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ، فإنَّهُ كَتبَ إلَيَّ : أمّا بَعدُ فإنَّ المَرءَ يَسوؤهُ فَوتُ ما لَم يَكُن لِيُدْرِكَهُ ، ويَسُرُّهُ دَرْكُ ما لَم يَكُن لِيَفوتَهُ ، فلْيَكُنْ سُرورُكَ بما نِلْتَ مِن آخِرَتِكَ ، ولْيَكُن أسَفُكُ على ما فاتَكَ مِنها ، وما نِلْتَ مِن دُنْياكَ فلا تَكُنْ بهِ فَرِحا ، وما فاتَكَ مِنها فلا تَأْسَ علَيهِ حُزْناً، ولْيَكُنْ هَمُّكَ فيما بَعدَ المَوتِ . والسَّلامُ .
