Richness is not having many possessions
Majma al-Zawaid 17749 — Richness is not having many possessions
وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، تَقُولُ : كَثْرَةُ الْمَالِ الْغِنَى ؟ " . قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " تَقُولُ : قِلَّةُ الْمَالِ الْفَقْرُ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا . ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " الْغِنَى فِي الْقَلْبِ ، وَالْفَقْرُ فِي الْقَلْبِ ، مَنْ كَانَ الْغِنَى فِي قَلْبِهِ فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ مَا لَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ، وَمَنْ كَانَ الْفَقْرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَلَا يُغْنِيهِ مَا أُكْثِرَ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، وَإِنَّمَا يَضُرُّ نَفْسَهُ شُحُّهَا " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
قُلْتُ : وَيَأْتِي حَدِيثٌ فِيمَنْ يَتَفَرَّغُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ يَمْلَأُ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ غِنًى .

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "O Abu Dharr! Do you think that having much wealth is richness?" I said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you think that having little wealth is poverty?" I said: "Yes!" This exchange took place three times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Richness is in the heart, and poverty is in the heart. Whoever has richness in his heart, nothing he meets in this world will harm him; and whoever has poverty in his heart, however much of this world is increased for him, it will not make him rich. And it is only its own greed that harms the soul."
Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know. (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: A hadith will come later about the person who devotes himself to worship, that Allah Almighty fills his heart with richness.
