Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“Time passes by and you will get what is due to reach you from this world no matter how weak you are, and you will suffer any losses in this world that you are doomed to suffer, and you cannot prevent this no matter how strong you are. Whoever forgets about what he loses will attain peace of mind, and whoever is content with his divinely allocated daily bread will get happy.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): الدنيا دول، فما كان لك منها أتاك على ضعفك، وما كان منها عليك لم تدفعه بقوتك، ومن انقطع رجاه مما فاته استراحت نفسه، ومن قنع بما رزقه الله تعالى قرت عيناه.
