Sahih al-Bukhari 4660 (Book 65, Hadith 182) #4443
Hoarding Gold & Silver Forbidden

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Abu Dhar's conversation with Muawiya regarding the verse in the Quran that speaks of a painful punishment for those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah.

Narrated Zaid bin Wahb: I passed by (visited ) Abu Dhar at Ar-Rabadha and said to him, "What has brought you to this land?" He said, "We were at Sham and I recited the Verse: "They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allah; announce to them a painful torment, " (9:34) where upon Muawiya said, 'This Verse is not for us, but for the people of the Scripture'. Then I said, 'But it is both for us (Muslim) and for them'. "
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْزَلَكَ بِهَذِهِ الأَرْضِ قَالَ كُنَّا بِالشَّأْمِ فَقَرَأْتُ ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلاَ يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ‏}‏ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا هَذِهِ فِينَا، مَا هَذِهِ إِلاَّ فِي أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا لَفِينَا وَفِيهِمْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a conversation between Abu Dhar and Muawiya regarding a verse from the Quran. The verse states that those who hoard up gold and silver, but do not spend it in the way of Allah, will be punished with a painful torment. Abu Dhar argued that this punishment applies to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, while Muawiya disagreed. This hadith teaches us that hoarding wealth without spending it on good causes is forbidden by Allah, as it will lead to punishment in this world or hereafter. It also teaches us to be generous with our wealth by spending it on good causes such as charity or helping others in need.
