(What is the true wealth of a person?)
Mishkat al-Masabih 5166 — What is the true wealth of a person?
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: مَالِي مَالِي. وَإِن مَاله مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ: مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَى أَوْ أَعْطَى فَاقْتَنَى. وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِك فَهُوَ ذاهبٌ وتاركهُ للنَّاس . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A servant says, 'My wealth, my wealth,' whereas his wealth is only in three ways: what he has consumed and finished, or worn and worn out, or given (in the way of Allah) and stored up (as reward). And whatever is besides these, he is leaving it behind for the people." Narrated by Muslim.
