Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Allah Ta’ala has declared wealth and children to be a means of trial in the Noble Qur’an (: at-Taghabun: 15). Allah Ta’ala tests people through these things in such a way that a person, becoming entangled in these perishable and transient things, forgets the everlasting blessings of the Hereafter. However, if someone uses these things as a means for the Hereafter and does not fall prey to the allure of the world, then wealth and children become a means of great reward.
(2)
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has deemed it permissible to supplicate for abundance of wealth along with blessing (barakah). The meaning of barakah is that it proves helpful in obedience to Allah. Thus, as a result of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah Ta’ala increased the wealth of Anas radi Allahu anhu. Anas radi Allahu anhu himself states that among the Ansar, I am the wealthiest. (: Musnad Ahmad: 248/3) In another narration, it is mentioned that his garden would bear fruit twice a year, and it had such flowers from which the fragrance of musk would emanate. (: Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, al-Manaqib, Hadith: 3833)
