Then We changed their suffering into prosperity, until they grew and multiplied, and began to say: "Our fathers (too) were touched by suffering and affluence" ... Behold! We called them to account of a sudden, while they realised not (their peril).
[Al A'raaf 7:95]
Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).
[Ali 'Imran 3:14]
It has been preached to us from Isma'il ibn Mas'ud Ibn Yazid that Zurai ', he said; Sa'id had told us of Qatada that Anas told them that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam surrounds the wives in one night, and at that time he had nine wives.
[Sunan Nasa'i Hadith No.3148]
