It is reported that 'Umar Ibn 'Abd Al'Azeez once wrote to Al-Hasan Al-Basri to get a brief exhortation from him, so Al-Hasan wrote back:
“The dunyah distracts and preoccupies the heart and body, but al-zuhd (asceticism, not giving importance to worldly things) gives rest to the heart and body. Verily, Allah will ask us about the halaal things we enjoyed, so what about the haraam!”
Al-Bayhaqee, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabeer, article 26
