From Al- Hasan who reported : Abu Dardaa (radhiyaAllaahu anhu) used to say :
من يتبع نفسه كل ما يرى في الناس يطل حزنه ولا يشف غيظه
“The one who’s soul follows [i.e. desires] all that which he sees possessed by the people : he just increases his sadness, and will never satisfy his cravings.”
Source : Zuhd of Imaam Ahmad : 779
