A Pearl of Wisdom from Jundub b. Junādah

Jundub b. Junādah said:

اجعل المال درهمين درهما تنفقه على عيالك من حله ودرهما تقدمه لآخرتك والآخر يضرك ولا ينفعك لا ترده

“You should divide your wealth into two: (1) that which you spend on your family from what is lawful and (2) that which you send forth for your Hereafter. Anything else harms you and will not benefit you. Do not desire it.”

(al-Mukhtār min Kalām al-Akhyār, 68)
