Authentic hadithNarrated by Muslim
Successful is the one who embraces Islam, is provided with mere subsistence, and Allah makes him content with what He has given him
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنهما أنَّ رَسولَ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليْه وسلَّمَ، قال: «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن أَسْلَمَ، وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا، وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ بما آتَاهُ».
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that one who submits to his Lord and is, thus, guided and led to Islam, and is provided with just enough lawful sustenance to meet his needs, without excess or deficiency, and Allah makes him content and satisfied with what He has granted him has truly succeeded and achieved victory.
