Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A servant says: My wealth, my wealth, while from his wealth there are only three parts for him: (1) that which he has eaten and consumed, (2) that which he has worn and worn out, and (3) that which he has given to someone and pleased him. Whatever is besides this, he is going to leave it behind for the people.
