Showing the Effects of Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised Abu Al-Ahwas to show the effects of his wealth through his clothing.

It was narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas that his father said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah SAW and he saw that I was dressed in scruffy clothes. He said: 'Do you have any wealth?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, all kinds of wealth'. He said: 'If Allah gives you wealth then let its effect be seen on you'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَرَآنِي رَثَّ الثِّيَابِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَكَ مَالٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُهُ عَلَيْكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was advising Abu Al-Ahwas on how to use his wealth. He suggested that if Allah has blessed him with wealth, then it should be seen in the way he dresses. This hadith teaches us that we should not be wasteful with our money and instead use it to improve our lives and those around us. It also encourages us to dress modestly and not flaunt our possessions or status in society. We should remember that all of our blessings come from Allah, so we must use them wisely and thank Him for them.
