Chapter: A person intending the Dunyaa with his actions

And His statement:

 (مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فِيهَا وَهُمۡ فِيهَا لَا يُبۡخَسُونَ 

أُوْلَـيِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الاخِرَةِ إِلاَّ النَّارُ

وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُواْ فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ)

"Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments – We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived. Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do."

[Hud: 15]

And in the Saheeh from Abi Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ, he said:

تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَعَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ وَعَبْدُ الْخَمِيصَةِ، إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ سَخِطَ، تَعِسَ وَانْتَكَسَ، وَإِذَا شِيكَ فَلاَ انْتَقَشَ، طُوبَى لِعَبْدٍ آخِذٍ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَشْعَثَ رَأْسُهُ مُغْبَرَّةٍ قَدَمَاهُ، إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي السَّاقَةِ كَانَ فِي السَّاقَةِ، إِنِ اسْتَأْذَنَ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شَفَعَ لَمْ يُشَفَّعْ

"May the slave of Deenaar and Dirham perish, and the slave of Khamisah, if he is given he is pleased, and if he is not given, he is not pleased, may he perish and relapse, and if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him. Toobaa is for him who holds the reins of his horse in the cause of Allaah, with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust: if he is appointed in the vanguard, he will guard, and if he is appointed in the rear, he is in the rear, if he asks for permission he is not permitted, and if he intercedes, his intercession is not accepted."

In it are Masaa’il (topics):

The First: A person intending the Dunyaa with actions of the Akhirah.

The Second: Tafseer Ayat Hud.

The Third: Calling a Muslim a slave of the Deenaar and Dirham and Khameesah.

The Fourth: Tafseer of that, that it is if he is given he is happy, if he’s not given he’s not happy.

The Fifth: His statement: “May he perish and relapse.”

The Sixth: His statement: “And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him.”

The Seventh: Praising the Mujaahid described with those descriptions.
