Hadith 9819
اُردوEn
عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ أَفْسَدَا لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If two wolves are let loose among sheep, they do not cause as much harm to them as a servant's greed for wealth and honor causes to his religion.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Greed for wealth and honor causes corruption in a person's religion. A person should strive to acquire worldly wealth and possessions through lawful means, and should cultivate within himself such humility and modesty that he does not desire people to venerate him.
