The Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:[1]

من أصبح منكم آمنًا في سربه، مُعافى في جسده، عندَهُ قوت يومه، فكأنما حِيزَتْ له الدُّنيا بحذافيرها

Whoever awoke in the morning, secure in his abode, healthy in his body, with his provision for the day, then it is as if the whole world has been put in his possession.

Ṣāliḥ al-Dimashqī said to his son:

يا بني، إذا مرَّ بك يوم وليلة قد سلم فيهما دينك وجسمك ومالك وعيالك فأكثِر الشكر للَّه تعالى، فكم من مسلوب دينه ومنزوع مُلكه ومهتوك ستره ومقصوم ظهره في ذلك اليوم، وأنت في عافية ؟!

O my son! When a day and night have passed over you and you have remained safe in your religion, and your body, wealth and family, then increase in gratitude to Allāh the Exalted. For how many a one is stripped of his religion, deprived of his wealth, unveiled of his covering (disgraced), and dealt a mortal blow during that day, yet you are in well-being?! [2]
