Hadith 5744
اُردوEn
عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَيْرُ مَالِ الْمَرْءِ لَهُ مُهْرَةٌ مَأْمُورَةٌ أَوْ سِكَّةٌ مَأْبُورَةٌ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Hubayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best wealth of a man is a mare with many offspring or a row of date palms that have been grafted.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In animals that are prolific in offspring and in agriculture, the treasures of goodness and blessings for homes are hidden. A man had kept nearly twenty sheep and goats. When we inquired about his means of livelihood, he said that his wife and children depended solely on these sheep and goats. Whenever there was a need for a large expense, whether in times of happiness or sorrow, he would sell one or two animals and manage his affairs. As for routine life, every two or three months, by selling two or three young ones, their needs would be met. Meanwhile, that man appeared to be extremely prosperous.
