Chapter: What has been reported regarding the condemnation of wealth
Hadith 10053
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ ثَنَا هَمَّامُ أَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ {أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ} [سورة التكاثر: 1-2] قَالَ فَقَالَ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي وَهَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُ كُلُّ صَدَقَةٍ لَمْ تُقْبَضْ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he was reciting these verses: "The desire for increase has distracted you, until you reached the graveyards." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth. O son of Adam! Of your wealth, there is nothing for you except what you have eaten and finished, or worn and worn out, or given in charity and sent ahead. Qatadah used to say: That charity is nothing which has not been taken into possession.
Hadith 10054
عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فِتْنَةً وَإِنَّ فِتْنَةَ أُمَّتِي الْمَالُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, every nation has a trial, and the trial of my nation is wealth.”
Hadith 10055
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِي مَالِي وَإِنَّ مَالَهُ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَى أَوْ أَعْطَى فَأَقْنَى مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ ذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِكُهُ لِلنَّاسِ
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (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, whereas of his wealth there are only three things for him: what he eats and consumes, or what he wears and wears out, or what he gives away and thus finishes. Other than that, whatever wealth there is, he is going to leave it behind for the people.
Hadith 10056
عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {الَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [سورة التوبة: 34] قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ قَدْ نَزَلَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَا نَزَلَ فَلَوْ أَنَّا عَلِمْنَا أَيَّ الْمَالِ خَيْرٌ اتَّخَذْنَاهُ فَقَالَ أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَزَوْجَةً مُؤْمِنَةً تُعِينُهُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ
Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when this verse was revealed: "Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah..." At that time, we were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Some of us said to others: Something has been revealed regarding gold and silver, now if we could know which wealth is better so that we may strive for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best wealth is a tongue that remembers (Allah), a heart that is grateful, and a believing wife who helps her husband in his faith.
Hadith 10057
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَاحِبٌ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنِي صَاحِبِي أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلُكَ تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَاذَا نَدَّخِرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَزَوْجَةً تُعِينُ عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abu Huzail, he says: One of my companions told me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Destruction is for gold and silver. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! You have said that destruction is for gold and silver, so what should we treasure? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A tongue that remembers (Allah), a heart that is grateful, and a wife who helps her husband in matters of the Hereafter.
Hadith 10058
عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كَانَ بِالْكُوفَةِ أَمِيرٌ قَالَ فَخَطَبَ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي إِعْطَاءِ هَذَا الْمَالِ فِتْنَةً وَفِي إِمْسَاكِهِ فِتْنَةٌ وَبِذَلِكَ قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ
Mutarrif bin Abdullah narrates from a companion, who was the governor of Kufa, that one day he delivered a sermon and said: Surely, there is a trial in giving this wealth and there is a trial in withholding it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered a sermon on this very subject, until he finished and descended.
Hadith 10059
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ وَقَفْتُ أَنَا وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي ظِلِّ أُجُمِ حَسَّانَ فَقَالَ لِي أُبَيٌّ أَلَا تَرَى النَّاسَ مُخْتَلِفَةً أَعْنَاقُهُمْ فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ يَحْسِرُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ بِهِ النَّاسُ سَارُوا إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ تَرَكْنَا النَّاسَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ لَيَذْهَبَنَّ فَيَقْتَتِلُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ مِنْ كُلِّ مِائَةٍ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَنْ عَفَّانَ
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Harith, he says: I and Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) were standing in the shade of Sayyiduna Hassan's (may Allah be pleased with him) palace. Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Do you not see how people's necks have turned in different directions in pursuit of the world? I said: Yes, indeed. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon a mountain of gold will emerge from the Euphrates. When people come to know of it, they will go towards it. The people present at that mountain will say: By Allah! If people are left in their state, this mountain will be finished. Then people will fight among themselves, and out of every hundred, ninety-nine will be killed.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and the color of his face had changed. I thought perhaps he was in some pain. Then I said: O Prophet of Allah! What is the reason that the color of your face has changed? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is because of those seven dinars that came to us yesterday and are still lying in the corner of the bedding.
Hadith 10063
عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا فَعَلَتِ الذَّهَبُ فَجَاءَتْ مَا بَيْنَ الْخَمْسَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعَةِ أَوِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ أَوِ التِّسْعَةِ فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُهَا بِيَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ مَا ظَنُّ مُحَمَّدٍ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَوْ لَقِيَهُ وَهَذِهِ عِنْدَهُ أَنْفِقِيهَا
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during his final illness, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aisha! What happened to that gold?"

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to turn them over with his hand and said: "What would Muhammad think of Allah if He were to meet him in this state while these dinars are with him? Spend them."

عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ إِنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِ قُرَيْشٍ مَالًا بِعْتُ أَرْضًا لِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ فَقَالَتْ أَنْفِقْ يَا بُنَيَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي مَنْ لَا يَرَانِي بَعْدَ أَنْ أُفَارِقَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ بِاللَّهِ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ قَالَتْ اللَّهُمَّ لَا وَلَنْ أُبَرِّئَ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ
Shaqiq says: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! I fear that I may be destroyed, because among the Quraysh, I possess the most wealth, and now I have sold a piece of land for forty thousand dinars. The lady said: O my son! Spend your wealth, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Surely, some of my companions are such that when I part from them (at the time of death), they will not be able to join me later. So I, Abdur Rahman, went to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated this hadith to him. He reached the lady and said: By Allah! Am I among them? She said: No, and after you, I will never declare anyone innocent.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this world is lush, green, sweet (and attractive). Whoever takes it with its due right, there will be blessing in it for him. And there are many people who intrude into the wealth of Allah and His Messenger, but the day they meet Allah Almighty, there will be fire for them on that day."
