The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own
wealth?” They replied, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “So his wealth is whatever he spends (in Allah’s Cause) during his life (on good
deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his death.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If Adam’s son had a valley full of gold, he would like to have two valleys, for
nothing fills his mouth except dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him.”

“The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you’ (102:1) was revealed.”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “If the son of Adam had money equal to a valley, then he will wish for
another similar to it, for nothing can satisfy the eye of Adam’s son except dust. And Allah forgives
him who repents to Him.” Ibn `Abbas said: I do not know whether this saying was quoted from the
Qur’an or not. `Ata’ said, “I heard Ibn AzZubair saying this narration while he was on the pulpit.”

I heard Ibn Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca, delivering a sermon, saying, “O men! The
Prophet used to say, “If the son of Adam were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a
second one; and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a third, for nothing fills the
belly of Adam’s son except dust. And Allah forgives he who repents to Him.” Ubai said, “We
considered this as a saying from the Qur’an till the Sura (beginning with) ‘The mutual rivalry for piling
up of worldly things diverts you..’ (102.1) was revealed.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Perish the slave of Dinar, Dirham, Qatifa (thick soft cloth), and Khamisa (a
garment), for if he is given, he is pleased; otherwise he is dissatisfied.”

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “If the son of Adam (the human being) had two valleys of money, he would
wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam’s son except dust, and Allah forgives him who
repents to Him.”

I brought water to `Uthman bin `Affan to perform the ablution while he was sitting on his seat. He
performed the ablution in a perfect way and said, “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) performing the ablution in this
place and he performed it in a perfect way and said, “Whoever performs the ablution as I have done
this time and then proceeds to the mosque and offers a two-rak`at prayer and then sits there (waiting
for the compulsory congregational prayers), then all his past sins will be forgiven.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
further added, “Do not be conceited (thinking that your sins will be forgiven because of your prayer).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The righteous (pious people will depart (die) in succession one after the other, and
there will remain (on the earth) useless people like the useless husk of barley seeds or bad dates.

I came to Khabbab while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab) said, “Our companions who have
left this world, did not enjoy anything of their reward therein, while we have collected after them,
much wealth that we cannot spend but on earth (i.e., on building).
