The Difference Between Zuhd and Wara', and the Difference Between Earthenware and Gold

The Shaykh : There is zuhd and there is wara'. Zuhd and wara'—the difference between them is that zuhd is leaving what does not benefit in the Hereafter, and wara' is leaving what harms in the Hereafter. Zuhd is leaving what does not benefit in the Hereafter, and wara' is leaving what harms in the Hereafter. The middle ground is what has neither benefit nor harm; the one with zuhd leaves it, and the one with wara' does not leave it. This is the difference between them. As for his saying "earthenware and gold," the difference between them is that earthenware is baked clay, and gold is well known. Yes.
