حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ الأَكْثَرُونَ هُمُ الأَسْفَلُونَ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثًا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah teaches us about wealth and humility. It states that the wealthiest person will be the lowest, unless they practice three specific things. These three things are not specified in this hadith, but it is likely that they refer to good character traits such as generosity, kindness and humility. This hadith encourages us to use our wealth in a responsible way and to remember our humble beginnings even if we become wealthy. It also reminds us of how important it is to have good character traits so that we can remain humble despite having wealth or success. We should strive to use our wealth responsibly and remember that true success comes from within rather than from material possessions or status symbols.
