The Peak of Eloquence · Hadith 2070 (#Passage #429)
Chapter 349 | Saying 349
وَالْقَنَاعَةُ مَالٌ لَا يَنْفَدُ، وَمَنْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذِكْرِ الْمَوْتِ رَضِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْيَسيرِ، وَمَنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ كَلاَمَهُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ قَلَّ كَلاَمُهُ إِلَّا فِيَما يَعْنيِهِ.
Contentment is a capital that does not dwindle. He who remembers death much is satisfied with small favours in this world. He who knows that his speech is also a part of his action speaks less except where he has some purpose.
