Hadith Successful is the one who embraces Islam, is provided with mere subsistence, and Allah makes him content with what He has given him

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنهما أنَّ رَسولَ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليْه وسلَّمَ، قال:
«قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن أَسْلَمَ، وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا، وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ بما آتَاهُ».

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Successful is the one who embraces Islam, is provided with mere subsistence, and Allah makes him content with what He has given him."

Authentic Narrated by Muslim Sahīh Muslim - 1054
