Arabic text

النضر عن درست عن إسحاق بن عمار عن ميسر عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية: (ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا) استوى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله جالسا ثم قال: من لم يتعز بعزاء الله تقطعت نفسه حسرات على الدنيا ومن أتبع بصره ما في أيدي الناس طال همه ولم يشف غيظه ومن لم يعرف الله عليه نعمه الا في مطعم أو مشرب قصر عمله ودنى عذابه.

Translation

5.Al-Naḍr narrated from Durust, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAmmār, from Muyassir, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “When the following verse was revealed: Do not gaze longingly at what We have given some of them to enjoy, the [fleeting] finery of this worldly life… (Q20:131), the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) sat up straight and then said, ‘Whoever does not take solace with the consolation of Allah will overwhelm himself with [sorrow and] regret for [what he has lost of] this world; and whoever follows with his gaze that which is in the possession of others, his sadness will be prolonged and his anger will never subside; and whoever does not recognize the blessing of Allah upon him except in his food or drink, his action will fall short and his chastisement will be near.’”
