أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ { 1 } حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ { 2 } سورة التكاثر آية 1-2 ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ : مَالِي مَالِي ، وَإِنَّمَا مَالُكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ " .
´It was narrated from Mutarrif, from his father, that the Prophet said:` "The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you, 'Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).' The son of Adam says: 'My wealth, my wealth,' but your wealth is what you eat and consume, or what you wear and it wears out, or what you give in charity and send on ahead (for the Hereafter).'"

Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that a person considers as his own the wealth that is in his possession, whereas the true wealth is that which he has given in charity (sadaqah) for the sake of earning reward, and which he has set aside for the Day of Recompense. The rest of the wealth, he has consumed by eating and drinking, or worn out by using it until it became old and worn. Other than the wealth given in charity, no wealth will benefit him in the Hereafter. This hadith encourages spending on those who are deserving and in the ways beloved to Allah.

Explanation:
1:
The desire for increase has distracted you (At-Takathur: 1)
2:
That is:
The true wealth of the son of Adam is only that which he spent in the way of Allah,
or that which he himself ate, drank, and wore until it became worn out,
and the remaining wealth that is left behind is not truly his, but rather it belongs to his heirs.
