Imam Sadiq (a.s) advised a man and said: “Be content with what God has destined for you. Do not be greedy of what others own. Do not hope to have what you cannot get. Whoever is content will get satisfied. But whoever is not content will never get satisfied. Gain your benefit from the Hereafter.”
وقال (عليه السلام) أيضا لرجل يعظه: اقنع بما قسم الله لك، ولا تنظر إلى ما عند غيرك، ولا تتمن ما لست نائله، فإنه من قنع شبع ومن لم يقنع لم يشبع، وخذ حظك من آخرتك.
