حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَيُّكُمْ مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا مِنَّا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِهِ ، قَالَ : اعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ ، قَالُوا : مَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : مَا مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا مَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ مَا قَدَّمَ ، وَمَالُ وَارِثِهِ مَا أَخَّرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you is there to whom his own wealth is dearer than the wealth of his heir?" The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, there is none among us but that his own wealth is dearer to him than the wealth of his heir. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Understand well what you are saying." They said: O Messenger of Allah, we know nothing other than that. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is it not that every one of you holds the wealth of his heir dearer than his own wealth?" The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, how is that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In reality, the wealth of each of you is only what he has sent ahead (for good deeds), and the wealth of his heir is what he leaves behind."
