Hadith 31: Renounce the World
Sahl ibn Sa’d Al-Sa’idi reported: A man came to the Prophet and said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me about a deed which will make Allah and the people love me.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُحِبَّكَ اللَّهُ وَازْهَدْ فِيمَا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ يُحِبُّوكَ
Renounce the world and Allah will love you. Renounce what people possess and the people will love you.
