hadith 3218
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world is a means of distraction from the Hereafter. Its companion obtains nothing from it except that it opens for him [the door of] greed for it and attachment towards it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا لَمِشْغَلَةٌ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ لَمْ يُصِبْ صاحِبُها مِنْها سَبَباً (سَيْباً) إلاّ فَتَحَتْ عَلَيْهِ حِرْصاً عَلَيْها وَ لَهَجاً بِها

Imam Ali (AS) said, One whose heart is attached to the love of this world catches three things from it: worry that never leaves him, greed that never abandons him and hopes that are never realized by him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَنْ لَهِجَ قَلْبُهُ بِحُبِّ الدُّنيا إلْتاطَ مِنها بِثَلاث: هَمّ لايُغْنيهِ (لايُغِبُّهُ) وَحِرص لا يَتْرُكُهُ وَ أمَل لا يُدْرِكُهُ

Imam Ali (AS) said, O slaves of desire, cut them short! For indeed, the one who leans on this world gets nothing out of it but the grating sound of hardship.
