This is like His saying: [Al-'Alaq 96:6] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the most fearful thing he fears for us is what is opened up to us of the adornment of this world. So let a person beware of what is expanded for him in provision, for perhaps his misery will be due to it. We ask Allah for safety and well-being.
