which a person gets every type of the world (worldly comforts). So the one who keeps himself away from both these things will stay away from the world.

Sayyiduna Imam Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated Arabic couplets the translation of which is as follows: I have found [this secret], so you do not presume any other thing either except this and do not think that this dirham [i.e. wealth] has piety.

Do not be deceived by seeing the patches sewn onto someone’s kameez or the shalwar he has kept above his shin or his forehead which gets marks (of Sajdahs), but rather see whether he loves dirham [i.e. wealth] or keeps himself away from it.
