From a servant of Allah -azwj Amir Al-Momineen Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws to the people of Egypt and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr’ – and he (the narrator) mentioned the Hadeeth in its length, and part of it was: وَ اعْلَمُوا يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ حَازُوا عَاجِلَ الْخَيْرِ وَ آجِلَهُ شَارَكُوا أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُشَارِكْهُمْ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا فِي آخِرَتِهِمْ وَ أَبَاحَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا كَفَاهُمْ وَ بِهِ أَغْنَاهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا خالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ كَذلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ And know!
O servants of Allah -azwj ! The pious ones have won the immediate goodness and its future (goodness). They are participating with the people of the world in their world and they are not participating the people of the world in the Hereafter, and Allah -azwj has Permitted from that world what can suffice them for their needlessness.
Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Says Say: ‘Who prohibited adornments of Allah which He Brought out for His servants, and the good from the sustenance?’ Say: ‘These would be for those who are believing sincerely in the life of the world, on the Day of Judgment. Like that We Detail the Signs for a people who are knowing’ [7:32] .
سَكَنُوا الدُّنْيَا بِأَفْضَلِ مَا سُكِنَتْ أَكَلُوهَا بِأَفْضَلِ مَا أُكِلَتْ شَارَكُوا أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ وَ شَرِبُوا بِأَفْضَلِ مَا يَشْرَبُونَ وَ لَبِسُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَلْبَسُونَ وَ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَ رَكِبُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ They dwelled in the world with the best of what could be dwelt in it, and their eating was with the best of what could be eaten, and they participated the people of the world in their world, so they ate along with them from the good things what they were eating, and they drank with the best of what they were drinking, and were eating from the best of what they were eating, and got married from the best of what they were marrying, and they rode on the best of what they were riding.
