Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wealth is not in having many possessions, but rather (true) wealth is feeling sufficiency in the soul."

كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ وَخَيْرُ الْخَطَّائِينَ التَّوَّابُونَ

يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَإٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَإٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُمْ
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah the Almighty says: 'I am as My servant thinks of Me. I am with him when he remembers Me. If he mentions Me within himself, I mention him within Myself. If he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly far better than his.'"
مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Umm Salamah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, "There is no Muslim stricken with a calamity who says what Allah has commanded — 'Verily to Allah we belong and to Him we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better' — except that Allah will replace it for him with something better."
وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "By Allah! I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him more than seventy times a day."
الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ

إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الأُولَى
Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet ﷺ passed by a woman who was weeping at a grave. He told her, 'Fear Allah and be patient.' She said, 'Go away from me, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine!' She did not recognise him.

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Wealth is not in having many possessions. Rather, true wealth is the richness of the soul (contentment of the heart).'
إِنَّ عِظَمَ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلَاءِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلَاهُمْ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السَّخَطُ
Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'The greatness of the reward is commensurate with the greatness of the trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts it with patience will have contentment, and whoever reacts with resentment will have resentment.'
مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا
