From the life of Hazrat Sa'd (ra) bin Ubadah
Hisham bin Urwah relates from his father that Hazrat Sa‘d (ra) bin Ubadah used to offer the following supplication:
“O Allah! Make me worthy of praise, grant me honour and nobility. One cannot attain honour and nobility without pious deeds.” If one does not have good deeds, they cannot attain honour, nor nobility. “And good deeds cannot be attained without wealth, therefore, O Allah, little amount of wealth is not sufficient for me and nor will it allow me to remain in this state.”
