EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) warned against the dangers of materialism and greed by cursing those who are enslaved to money and material possessions. He was emphasizing that one should not be so focused on wealth that it becomes their master, as this will lead to unhappiness and spiritual destruction in the long run. Instead, one should focus on developing a strong relationship with Allah through prayer, charity, and good deeds in order to achieve true happiness in life. This hadith also teaches us that we should not be too attached to worldly possessions as they can easily be taken away from us at any time; instead we should strive for spiritual wealth which is eternal and will never leave us no matter what happens in life.
