Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and did he not find you needy, poor, and enrich you?, [and] made you content with the spoils and other things which he gave you — in a hadīth [it is stated], ‘wealth comes not from the proliferation of transient [worldly] goods, but wealth comes from the contentedness of the soul’.

Sahl al-Tustari
