Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The wealthy have perished. The people asked: But who? He (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: The wealthy have perished. The people asked: But who? He (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: The wealthy have perished. The people asked: But who? Eventually, we became afraid, as if it seemed that this matter had become obligatory. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Except the one who did like this, and like this, and like this, while those who do so are few.
