Explanation:
1:
The meaning of this hadith is that worldly greed is so deeply ingrained in the children of Adam that even if he possesses an abundance of wealth, he still does not find contentment, until death embraces him—then only the soil of the grave brings him satisfaction.
However, there are some servants of Allah who are disinterested in the world; therefore, Allah, the Exalted, protects them from worldly greed,
and they are all enriched with the wealth of contentment (qana‘ah).
