Hadith 9816
اُردوEn
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ لَابْتَغَى إِلَيْهِمَا آخَرَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to recite this as well: If the son of Adam has two valleys of gold and silver, he will begin to seek a third one. Only dust is what can fill the belly of the son of Adam, and Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of the one who repents.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Man is always in search of more and does not practice contentment. If, along with abundant worldly sustenance, there is fear of Allah (taqwa) and piety, and the wealth and riches are being utilized in accordance with the requirements of the Shari‘ah, then there is no harm in affluence (ghina). See Hadith number (9331).
