Hassan ibn Ziyad narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“When the following verse was revealed: “Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendor of the life of this world.” [The Holy Quran: Ta-Ha 20:131],the Prophet thought for a while, and then raised his head and said: “O' Servants of God! Whoever is not pacified with God's consolation will die while he has been constantly wishing for worldly matters. Whoever keeps an eye on what others have will constantly feel sad about (not having their wealth), and his heart ache will not be remedied. And whoever does not recognize God's blessings that are granted to him other than things to eat and wear will have a short life and an upcoming punishment.”
عن حسن بن زياد عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لما نزلت هذه الآية ﴿لا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا﴾ أطرق رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) طويلا، ثم رفع رأسه فقال: عباد الله من لم يتعز بعزاء الله انقطعت نفسه عن الدنيا حسرات، ومن نظر إلى ما في أيدي الناس فقد كثر همه ولم يشف غليل صدره، ومن لم ير الله عليه نعمة إلا في مطعم أو في ملبس فقد قصر أجله ودنا عذابه.
