Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5289
وَعَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : «الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ. وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ
Shaddad bin Aws Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The wise person subdues himself (before the will of Allah) and performs deeds for that which will transpire after death (hoping for reward in the hereafter). But, the foolish and unworthy person surrenders himself to his passion (perpetrating the forbidden and indulging in worldly pleasures as though a prisoner of his desires) yet places his hope in Allah (that He will forgive him and admit him to paradise)."
