Hadith on Akhirah: Make the Hereafter your only concern

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever makes his concerns only one concern, the Hereafter, Allah will be enough for his concerns in the world. Whoever scatters his concerns, it does not matter to Allah in which valley of the world he meets his demise.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ جَعَلَ الْهَمَّ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا يعني الآخرة كَفَاهُ اللهُ هَمَّ دُنْيَاهُ وَمَنْ تَشَعِّبَتْهُ الْهُمُومُ لَمْ يُبَالِ اللهُ فِي أَيِّ أَوْدِيَةِ الدُّنْيَا هَلَكَ
