سُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الضَّيْعَةَ فَتَرْغَبُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَبِرَاذَانَ مَا بِرَاذَانَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ مَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Mu'awiya, from al-A'mash, from Shimr ibn 'Atiyya, from Mughira ibn Sa'd ibn al-Akhram, from his father — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not acquire estates [al-day'a] lest you become attached to this world.' Then 'Abdullah said: 'And [look at what has become of] Razan [a fertile district of Iraq] — what [a place] Razan is! And al-Madina — what [a place] al-Madina is!'
