Hadith 6436

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى ثَالِثًا ، وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ ، إِلَّا التُّرَابُ ، وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I heard the Prophet saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being) had two valley of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who repents to Him."

Hadith Commentary:
Before the revelation of Surah At-Takathur, this phrase continued to be recited like the Qur'an.
Then, after the revelation of Surah At-Takathur, its recitation was abrogated.
The subject matter is the same: it is an exposition of man's greed and covetousness.
Further clarification is present in the following ahadith.
