“A man came to the
Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, show me a deed
which,
if I do it, Allah will love me and people will love me. The
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Be indifferent towards this world,
and Allah
will love you. Be indifferent to what is in people’s
hands, and they
will love you.”

“We stopped with Abu Hashim bin ‘Utbah, who had
been
stabbed, and Mu’awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept and
Mu’awiyah said to him: ‘Why are you weeping, O maternal uncle? Is
there some pain bothering you, or is it because of this world, the
best of which has already passed?’ He said: ‘It is not for any of
these reasons. But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me some advice
and I wish that I had followed it. He (ﷺ) said: “There may come a
time when you will see wealth divided among the people, and all you
will need of that is a servant and a mount to ride in the cause of
Allah.” That time came, but I accumulated wealth.’”
