قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) مَنْ رَضِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَا يُجْزِيهِ كَانَ أَيْسَرُ مَا فِيهَا يَكْفِيهِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَا يُجْزِيهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ يَكْفِيهِ .


Translation

From him, from a number of our companions, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, raising it, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who is pleased from the world with whatever his apportionment is, the least of what is in it would suffice him; and the one who is not pleased from the world with what his apportionment is, there is nothing in it which would suffice him’.
