Wealth and Piety

SUMMARY: Wealth and piety are two important aspects of life.

Narrated Al-Hasan: from Samurah that the Prophet said: "Al-Hasab is wealth and Al-Karam is Taqwa".
حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الأَعْرَجُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَلاَّمِ بْنِ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْحَسَبُ الْمَالُ وَالْكَرَمُ التَّقْوَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَمُرَةَ ‏.‏ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَلاَّمِ بْنِ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of wealth and piety in life. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that wealth is Al-Hasab and piety is Al-Karam. Al Hasab means to have enough money to meet one's needs while Karam means to be generous with what one has been given by Allah SWT. It also implies having a good character, being kind to others, and doing good deeds for the sake of Allah SWT. This hadith teaches us that we should strive for both wealth and piety in our lives as they are both important aspects of living a successful life according to Islam. We should not focus on just one aspect but rather strive for balance between them both so that we can live a fulfilling life here on earth as well as in the hereafter.
