via the route of Ismaʿil, from al-Hasan alone. This Ismaʿil was al-Makki, and he is weak. It also has a corroborating report with the wording:
“Whoever makes worldly life his chief concern, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will receive from worldly life only what has been decreed for him. But whoever intends the Hereafter, Allah will unite his affairs, place sufficiency in his heart, and worldly life will come to him unwillingly.”
950 — “Whoever makes worldly life his chief concern, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will receive from worldly life only what has been decreed for him. But whoever intends the Hereafter, Allah will unite his affairs, place sufficiency in his heart, and worldly life will come to him unwillingly.”
Ibn Majah (2/524–525) and Ibn Hibban (72) narrated it through the route of Shuʿbah, from ʿAmr ibn Sulayman, who said: I heard ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Aban ibn ʿUthman ibn ʿAffan, from his father, from Zayd ibn Thabit, attributing it to the Prophet.
I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission; its narrators are trustworthy, as stated in al-Zawaʾid.
951 — “The thing I fear most for you is minor associationism.” They asked, “What is minor associationism?” He replied, “Showing off. On the Day of Resurrection, when Allah recompenses people, He will say to those guilty of it: ‘Go to those before whom you used to show off in worldly life, and see whether you can find any recompense with them!’”
Ahmad (5/428 and 429), Abu Muhammad al-Dirab in Censure of Showing Off (277/2/299/2), and al-Baghawi in Commentary on the Sunnah (4/201/1) narrated it from ʿAmr ibn Abi ʿAmr and from ʿAsim ibn ʿUmar ibn Qatadah, from Mahmud ibn Labid, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said. This is a good chain of transmission. All its narrators are trustworthy and are among the narrators of al-Bukhari and Muslim, apart from Mahmud ibn Labid, who is among Muslim’s narrators alone. Al-Hafiz said: “He was a young Companion, and most of his reports are from the Companions.”
