Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28319 — Reports on avarice

Urwah says that Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to supplicate: "O Allah, grant me praise, and grant me honor and glory; honor and glory are not attained except through a great deed, and there is no great deed except through wealth. O Allah, a little wealth cannot benefit me, nor do I do well on it."
