2142 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَجْمِلُوا فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا، فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

Commentary
'Be moderate in seeking worldly things' means to strive for earning lawful and one should not engage oneself fully in the earning that his/her attention for the Hereafter is driven away. It means to adopt a moderate manner of earning the worldly gain.
