Chosen Bondsmen

It is narrated by M'aad bin Jabal that when the Apostle of God sent
him to Yemen, he gave him this advice: "O M'aad", he said, "Avoid
luxury. The chosen bondsmen of the Lord are not ease-loving and
self-indulgent."
-Musnad-i-Ahmad
Commentary:
Though it is not forbidden to lead a life of ease and luxury, it does
not befit theworthy bondmen of the Lord. They would better abstain
from it. O Lord! There is no joy other than the joy of Futurity
denotes the ideal rule of conduct for them.
