´Narrated Thawban:` "When (the following) was revealed: And those who hoard up gold and silver... (9:34)" He said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during one of his journeys, so some of his Companions said: (This) has been revealed about gold and silver, if we knew which wealth was better then we would use it. So he (ﷺ) said: 'The most virtuous of it is a remembering tongue, a grateful heart, and a believing wife that helps him with his faith.'"

Benefits and Issues:

➊ The remembrance of Allah and gratitude to Allah are very great blessings. Whoever is granted the ability to perform these deeds has attained a tremendous wealth.

➋ The ruling revealed regarding gold and silver is as follows:

“And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, give them glad tidings of a painful punishment.”
(At-Tawbah, 9:34)

➌ Wealth is a good thing, but even more important are a person’s moral qualities. In particular, patience (sabr) and gratitude (shukr) hold great significance.

➍ A woman who has faith in her heart will herself keep the Hereafter in view and will help her husband to walk on the path of righteousness. Therefore, such a righteous woman is a great blessing from Allah. A Muslim man should value such a woman.
