لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ
True richness does not come from an abundance of possessions; rather, real richness is contentment of the soul.

الْغِنَى denotes richness or sufficiency; كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ means abundance of possessions; and غِنَى النَّفْسِ means inward contentment. وَلَكِنَّ replaces the inadequate measure with the essential one. The statement distinguishes material ownership from peace of mind.
Having wealth is not inherently condemned, and having little does not automatically mean one is content. What matters is the person's relationship with resources: endless craving or gratitude, responsibility, and appropriately restrained desires.
