A wise person is one who keeps a watch over his bodily desires and passions, and checks himself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will benefit him after death; and a foolish person is one who subordinates himself to his cravings and desires and expects from Allah the fulfilment of his futile desires.’

The above quotation was said by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 66 Narrated by AbuYa'la ibn Shaddad ibn Aws (R.A.)
