حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ ثَنَا هَمَّامُ أَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ {أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ} [سورة التكاثر: 1-2] قَالَ فَقَالَ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي وَهَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُ كُلُّ صَدَقَةٍ لَمْ تُقْبَضْ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he was reciting these verses: "The desire for increase has distracted you, until you reached the graveyards." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth. O son of Adam! Of your wealth, there is nothing for you except what you have eaten and finished, or worn and worn out, or given in charity and sent ahead. Qatadah used to say: That charity is nothing which has not been taken into possession.
