Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5179
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ دُنْيَاهُ أَضَرَّ بِآخِرَتِهِ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ آخِرَتَهُ أَضَرَّ بِدُنْيَاهُ فَآثِرُوا مَا يَبْقَى عَلَى مَا يَفْنَى» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
Abu Musa Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who loves his (Life of this) world causes damage to his next world (by not finding enough time to work for it). And, he who loves his (life of his) next world causes damage to his (life of this) world (by being occupied in pursuits of the hereafter). So (knowing this fact), you must prefer the perpetual (hereafter) to the ephemeral (meaning, this world)." [2]
