عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَطَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَثَرُ مَاءٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَرَاكَ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ قَالَ أَجَلْ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَاضَ الْقَوْمُ فِي ذِكْرِ الْغِنَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالْغِنَى لِمَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالصِّحَّةُ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْغِنَى وَطَيِّبُ النَّفْسِ مِنَ النِّعَمِ
It is narrated from the uncle of Abdullah bin Khubaib, he says: We were sitting in a gathering when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us, and there were traces of water on his head. We said: O Messenger of Allah! You look cheerful and pleasant. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes. Then people started talking about wealth, upon which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is no harm in wealth for the one who fears Allah, but for the one who fears Allah, good health is better than wealth, and being cheerful is also among the blessings.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Without piety and abstinence, wealth is nothing but destruction; everyone considers being wealthy as a mark of honor and success, but fulfilling its requirements is a very difficult matter.

After the great blessings of Islam and guidance, the greatest blessing is health; all other blessings are subordinate to it. Therefore, one should continue to ask Allah Ta‘ala for well-being (afiyah).
