Sahih Muslim : Book 42
"Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq",
Number 7063



Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported
Allah's Messenger

(sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam )
as saying:
"A servant says, My wealth.



my wealth,but out of his wealth

three things are only his:
whatever he eats and makes use of

or by means of which he dresses himself

and it wears out or he

gives as charity, and this is what

he stored for himself
(as a reward for the Hereafter)
and what is beyond this

(it is of no use to you)
because you are to depart and

leave it for other people.


This hadith has been narrated

on the authority
of al-'Ala'b'Abd al-Rahman
with the same chain of transmitters. "
