'I am in no need for comfort, I'm like a traveller that took a nap under the shade of a tree on a hot day and left therafter.'
Ibn Qayium comments, 1) the greenery of the world is like the tree, 2) the diminishing world is like the shade which also diminishes, 3) the travel is the journey to your Lord.
The one who is mainly concerned about the world is then afflicted by 3 things, his affairs will be scattered, poverty is between his eyes and he will only get what is written for him.
