True Contentment of the Heart

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه reports that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“O Abu Dharr, Do you regard excess wealth to be richness?’ 
I said, ‘Yes’, 
to which he replied, ‘And you regard less wealth to be poverty?’
I said ‘Yes, O Rasulullah!’
He said, ‘That is not the case. [True] wealth is contentment of the heart and [true] poverty is poverty of the heart.'”

(As Sunanul Kubra of Imam Nasai)
