"O people. The dunia (world) will come to an end and you will be carried from it to an abode which will not wane or disappear. Go to it with the best of your deeds.
I look back and see myself among the early Muslims with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We had no food then apart from the leaves of trees and our lips would fester. One day I found a burdah (بردة). I tore it in two and shared it with Sad ibn Abi Waqqas. I made an aazar with one half and he did the same with the other half.
Here we are today.
There is not one of us but he is an emir of one of the garrison towns. I seek Allah's protection lest I become great in my own estimation and little in the sight of Allah ..."

وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة وما تقدموا لأنفسكم من خير تجدوه عند الله إن الله بما تعملون بصير
And establish prayer and give zakah, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves you will find it with Allah. Indeed, Allah of what you do, is Seeing. | Holy Quran 2:100
قال النبي ﷺ أيكم مال وارثه أحب إليه من ماله
قالوا يا رسول الله ما منا أحد إلا ماله أحب إليه
قال فإن ماله ما قدم ومال وارثه ما أخر
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?" They replied, "O Allah's Messenger! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more." The Prophet said, "So his wealth is whatever he puts forward (with Allah) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves (after his death)." | Sahih Bukhari 8.76.449
