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.' ”
