O Son of Adam, you need your share from this life, but more so, you need your share in the Hereafter. If you take care of your share in this life first, you will lose your share in the Hereafter and will soon lose your share in this life as well. If you take care of your share in the Hereafter first, you will also win your share in this life and enjoy it perfectly.

—one of the salaf
