حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَ فِي الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ مَا نَزَلَ ، قَالُوا : فَأَيَّ الْمَالِ نَتَّخِذُ ؟ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ لَكُمْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَوْضَعَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ ، فَأَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا فِي أَثَرِهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيَّ الْمَالِ نَتَّخِذُ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : " لِيَتَّخِذْ أَحَدُكُمْ قَلْبًا شَاكِرًا ، وَلِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا ، وَزَوْجَةً مُؤْمِنَةً تُعِينُ أَحَدَكُمْ عَلَى أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ " .
´It was narrated that:` Thawban said: “When the Verse concerning silver and gold was revealed, they said: 'What kind of wealth should we acquire?' Umar said: 'I will tell you about that.' So he rode on his camel and caught up with the Prophet, and I followed him. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah what kind of wealth should we acquire?' He said: 'Let one of you acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter.' ”

Brief Explanation
1؎: A woman's assistance in matters of the Hereafter is that, due to her, a man is protected from sins and from casting unlawful glances, and she takes care of all the household tasks, thereby giving the man the opportunity to engage in worship. If there were no woman and he had to do these tasks himself, it would be difficult for him to find time for worship. Some women themselves are pious and religious; through the effect of their company, the man also becomes ascetic and devoted to worship. Some women wake their husbands for the tahajjud (late night) prayer.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ The remembrance of Allah and gratitude to Allah are very great blessings. Whoever is granted the ability to perform these deeds has attained a tremendous wealth.

➋ The ruling revealed regarding gold and silver is as follows:

“And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, give them glad tidings of a painful punishment.”
(At-Tawbah, 9:34)

➌ Wealth is a good thing, but even more important are a person’s moral qualities. In particular, patience (sabr) and gratitude (shukr) hold great significance.

➍ A woman who has faith in her heart will herself keep the Hereafter in view and will help her husband to walk on the path of righteousness. Therefore, such a righteous woman is a great blessing from Allah. A Muslim man should value such a woman.
