حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ فِي حَوْضِي مِنَ الْأَبَارِيقِ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "Indeed, at my Hawd there are drinking vessels as numerous as the stars in the heavens."

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
The highest and most elevated status for a wealthy person is that he continues to spend his wealth, rather than hoarding or accumulating it. However, attaining this highest rank is not within the capacity of every wealthy individual. Therefore, this is merely an encouragement and a recommended (mustahabb) matter; it is not obligatory or necessary.
