عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَسْأَلُهُ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَإِلَى رِجْلَيْهِ أُخْرَى هَلْ يَرَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ كَمْ مَالُكَ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَابْتَغَى الثَّالِثَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْتُ هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَنِيهَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ فَمُرْ بِنَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا قَالَ أُبَيٌّ هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَفَأُثْبِتُهَا قَالَ فَأَثْبِتْهَا
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to ask a question to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He would sometimes look at the man's head and sometimes at his feet, wanting to see any sign of poverty on him. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the man: "How much wealth do you have?" He replied: "Forty camels." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth, that if the son of Adam had two valleys of gold, he would seek a third, and only dust fills the belly of the son of Adam. However, Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is this that you are narrating?" I said: "Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) taught me exactly like this." He said: "Order him to come to us." So Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "What do they say regarding you?" Sayyiduna Ubayy said: "Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me exactly like this." He said: "Should I establish these words?" He said: "Yes, do so."
Hadith 9812
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيًا مَالًا لَأَحَبَّ أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ مِثْلَهُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ نَفْسَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَاللَّهُ يَتُوبُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَمِنَ الْقُرْآنِ هُوَ أَمْ لَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the son of Adam had a valley full of wealth, he would wish to have another valley like it, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust. However, Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I do not know whether this is a part of the Noble Qur’an or not.
Hadith 9813
عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ شَيْئًا إِذَا دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ تَمَثَّلَ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ فَمَهُ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْمَالَ إِلَّا لِإِقَامَةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَيَتُوبُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would come home, he would say: If the son of Adam had two valleys full of wealth, he would seek a third one. Only dust can fill his mouth. And We have made wealth so that prayer may be established and zakat may be given, and Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of the one who repents.
Hadith 9814
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَشَيْءٌ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ شَيْءٌ يَقُولُهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى لَهُمَا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I used to hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying something, but I did not know whether it was being revealed to him or he was saying it from himself. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the son of Adam had two valleys full of wealth, he would seek a third one, and only dust can fill the belly of the son of Adam. However, Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of the one who repents.
Hadith 9815
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ نَخْلٍ تَمَنَّى مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ تَمَنَّى مِثْلَهُ حَتَّى يَتَمَنَّى أَوْدِيَةً وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the son of Adam possesses a valley full of date palms, he will desire another valley like it, then he will wish for yet another valley, until he develops the desire for many valleys. Only dust is what can fill the belly of the son of Adam.

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.

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.
