THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH

67

“A wise person is one who guards and restrains himself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will benefit him after death. The foolish one is he who gives into his desires and seeks from Allah the fulfillment of his futile desires.”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Shaddad son of Aus who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
