Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: I was walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through a date-palm orchard belonging to one of the people of Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Hurayrah! Those who have much (wealth) will be ruined, except for the one who does like this, and like this, and like this. He said this three times. He joined both his palms and three times (gestured spending) to the right, to the left and to the front, and said: But such people are few. Then he walked on for a while, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Hurayrah! Shall I not guide you to one of the treasures of Paradise? I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (It is reciting:) 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, wa la malja'a min Allah illa ilayh' (Nothing can be done without the help of Allah Almighty, and there is no refuge from Allah Almighty except in Him alone). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked on for a while, and then he said: Do you know what the right of Allah Almighty over His servants is? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The right of Allah Almighty over His servants is that the servants worship Him alone and do not associate anyone with Him as a partner; when they do that, it will be binding upon Allah Almighty that He not punish them. Imam Ahmad recorded this narration; Imam al-Tirmidhi recorded from it only the words 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah', and Imam Ibn Majah recorded through Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah this narration: "Those who have much will be the ones who have little."
The narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy) and athbat (firmly reliable).
