274 – It has reached me that Abū Sulaymān al-Dārānī said, “No one can remain patient in the face of worldly desires unless his heart is preoccupied with concerns of the Hereafter.”

It has also reached me from one of the sages that he said, “Whoever is disinterested in the world gains mastery over it, whereas whoever yearns for the world ends up serving it.”
