Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم passed by a dead kid that had very short ears (or had ears that had been cut off, or had no ears at all). He asked (his sahabah) رضي الله عنهم 'would any of you like to buy it for one dirham?' They submitted, "We would not have it at any price!" He said, "By Allah, the world is more worthless in the sight of Allah than this is in yours." [2]

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مُؤْمِنًا حَسَنَةً يُعْطَى بِهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَيُجْزَى بِهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَيُطْعَمُ بِحَسَنَاتِ مَا عَمِلَ بِهَا لِلَّهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَفْضَى إِلَى الْآخِرَةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَة يجزى بهَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Surely Allah does not deny a believer the reward of his good deed. He is granted blessings for it in this world and will be rewarded for it in the hereafter. As for the disbeliever, he is given reward for his good deeds he performs for Allah's sake in this world (in the shape of comfort and luxury for what he deserves). When he comes to the next world, there will remain no good deed (in his record of deeds) for which he may eligible to get a reward.” [1]

26/7. Chapter:
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَعَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ وَعَبْدُ الْخَمِيصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ سَخِطَ تَعِسَ وَانْتَكَسَ وَإِذَا شِيكَ فَلَا انْتُقِشَ. طُوبَى لِعَبْدٍ أَخَذَ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَشْعَثُ رَأْسُهُ مُغْبَرَّةٌ قَدَمَاهُ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي السَّاقَة كَانَ فِي السَّاقَة وَإِن اسْتَأْذَنَ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَفَعَ لَمْ يشفع» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "May the slave of the dinar, the slave of the dirham and the slave of the cloak perish! (He has only one thing in mind - to amass wealth and name.) If he is given something, he is pleased. If he is not given anything, he is angry, displeased and disappointed. If he is pricked by a thorn, let no one extract it for him (meaning, he should not be helped when he is in difficulty).Blessed is the man who holds the reins of his horse in Allah's path, with unkempt hair and dusty feet. (He participates in jihad (crusade)) If he is assign and to guard (from the front), he is alert on duty, and if he is made a rearguard, he stays there is submission. (In spite of that, he is humility personified and is not esteemed by society so) if he seeks permission to join people's gathering, he is denied permission and if he makes a recommendation, it is turned down."

26/8. Chapter:
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا» . فَقَالَ رجلٌ: يَا رَسُول الله أوَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: فَمَسَحَ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟» . وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ مَا يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ أكلت حَتَّى امتدت خاصرتاها اسْتقْبلت الشَّمْسِ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ. وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَيَكُونُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'eed Khudri رضي الله عنه narrated that (one day) Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said "Of the things that I fear for you after me (meaning after my death) is the greenness of the world and its beauty that will be received by you (through conquests and power)." So, one man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, shall good bring evil with it?" (He wished to know of blessings to put them to trial and disobedience.)The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم remained silent (waiting for a revelation from Allah). Those around presumed that he was receiving a revelation. The narrator said that he wiped off the perspiration (from his face because it came after every revelation). And he asked, "Where is the man who had put the question?" He seemed to laud him for asking the question.Then, he said, "God does not bring evil with it. (An example is) Of the plants that the rain in spring produces are some that (though basically beneficial kill(an animal) with swelling (of the belly) or nearly kill (due to overeating) sparing only the animal that feeds on vegetation (khadirah). It eats and when its both sides swell, it faces the sun. Then it passes dung and urine and returns and grazes. Surely, this wealth is green and sweet (tender and pleasant. It delights the eye so one wishes for more and more). Hence, he who acquires it lawfully and puts it to use (on just causes) lawfully finds blessing on it. But, he who acquires it without right (unlawfully) is like one who goes on eating but is never satiated. And, the wealth and property will stand witness against him (for this extravagance against him (for his extravagance and greed) on the day of resurrection." [1]

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By Allah, I do not fear poverty overtaking you. But, I fear for your that the world would be spread out for you as it was for those before you and you would contend with each other over it as they had done and would be ruined as they were ruined."

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم made this supplication.اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فُوْتًا (O Allah, let the provision of the family of Muhammad be enough for subsistence.)According to another version: (كفاف) instead of (قوت) 'needs. Instead of 'subsistence.' [1]
