Silsilah as-Sahihah 2212 — No harm in wealth, but when? Health

Mu’adh bin ‘Abdullah bin Khubaib narrates from his father, who narrates from his uncle Sayyiduna Yasar bin ‘Abdullah Juhani, he says: We were sitting in a gathering when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came there and there were traces of water on his head. One of us said: Today we see you in a more pleasant mood than before. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Yes, (it is so) and for this I thank Allah, the Exalted.” Then people became engaged in talking about wealth, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard their conversation, he said: “If a person is God-fearing, then there is no harm in being wealthy. In any case, for a pious person, health and well-being are better than wealth, and having a cheerful disposition is also a blessing.”
