[1] That statement means since we have to be on guard against being deceived and occupied by the dunya, the happiest a person should be is when he is not occupied with the dunya, but putting it in its right place, since this is what is pleasing to Allâh and the safest situation to be in.
[2] As for the issue of ending letters with ‘Was-Salam’, this narration is one example of many where it is reported that the Salaf did so. Will have to come back on the authenticity and legitimacy of saying this, in sha Allâh.

Regarding the last part of this quote: 1) Could you please clarify the meaning of the statement of the great companion, رضي الله عنه: "And be most happy in it when you are most heedful of it; for every time its companion takes solace in one of its delights, it gives way to one of its woes." 2) And also, is "Was-Salâm" authentically quoted from his letter this way? If so, then it would OK to end letters / e-mails using this phrase, right? جزاك الله خيرا كثيرا وباك الله فيك. صادق السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته يا أخي
