The one who is uprooted neither reaches his destination nor preserves his mount. --- إن المنبت لا أرضاً قطع ولا ظهراً أبقى


The one who is cut off from his companions on a journey. And the back is the animal. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said this to a man who exerted himself in worship until his eyes became sunken. When he saw him, he said to him: This religion is firm, so delve into it gently. The one who is cut off, that is, the one who strives in his journey until he eventually becomes cut off, he named him with what his end will be like the Almighty’s saying: “Indeed, you are going to die, and indeed, they are going to die.” It is used to describe someone who exaggerates in seeking something and goes to extremes until he may miss it for himself.

 "Don't burn the candle at both ends."

➜ Don't overwork yourself (very close to the idea).

"Slow and steady wins the race."

➜ Gradual and moderate progress is better than haste (opposite the meaning).

"Haste makes waste."

➜ Haste leads to bad results.

"He who grasps at too much loses everything."

➜ He who is greedy and excessive loses everything.

And the closest direct equivalent in meaning is:

👉 "Don't burn the candle at both ends."

 المنبت المنقطع عن أصحابه في السفر. والظهر الدابة. قاله عليه الصلاة والسلام لرجل اجتهد في العبادة حتى هجمت عيناه أي غارتا فلما رآه قال له: إن هذا الدين متين فأوغل فيه برفق إن المنبت أي الذي يجد في سيره حتى ينبت أخيراً سماه بما تؤؤول إليه عاقبته كقوله تعالى: "إنك ميت وإنهم ميتون" يضرب لمن يبالغ في طلب الشيء ويفرط حتى ربما يفوته على نفسه.
