Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
An authentic narration from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) states that when a servant enjoys the luxuries of this world, it diminishes his ranks with Allah, even if Allah is generous to him. This is supported by the narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mu'adh ibn Jabal when he sent him to Yemen: "And beware of luxury, for the servants of Allah are not those who live in luxury."
