Sunan Ibn Majah 2292 (Book 12, Hadith 156) #31644
Contentment with Wealth and Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised a man to be content with his father taking his wealth, and reminded him that his children are among the best of his earnings.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah , and said: 'My father is taking all my wealth'. He said: 'You and your wealth belong to your father'. And the Messenger of Allah said: 'Your children are among the best of your earnings, so eat from your wealth.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي اجْتَاحَ مَالِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْتَ وَمَالُكَ لأَبِيكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَوْلاَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ كَسْبِكُمْ فَكُلُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about being content with one's wealth and appreciating one's children. It was narrated by 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father who heard it from his grandfather. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a man who complained to him about how his father was taking all of his wealth. He told him that he and all of the wealth belonged to the father, but also reminded him that "Your children are among the best of your earnings". This means that even if one does not have much material possessions or money, they should still be grateful for their children as they bring joy and happiness into their lives. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us to be content with what we have in life instead of always wanting more than we need or can afford.
