Sunan an-Nasai 3594 (Book 29, Hadith 1) #18208
The Legacy of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left behind no wealth or possessions, except for a white mule, his weapon and some land which was to be used for the cause of Allah.

It was narrated that 'Amr bin Al-Harith said: "The Messenger of Allah did not leave behind a Dinar nor a Dirham, or any slave, male or female; except his white mule which he used to ride, his weapon and some land which he left to be used for the cause of Allah". (One of the narrators) Qutaibah said on one occasion: "In charity".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ دِينَارًا وَلاَ دِرْهَمًا وَلاَ عَبْدًا وَلاَ أَمَةً إِلاَّ بَغْلَتَهُ الشَّهْبَاءَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَرْكَبُهَا وَسِلاَحَهُ وَأَرْضًا جَعَلَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى صَدَقَةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Use your worldly possessions in service towards others in the cause of Allah

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Amr bin Al-Harith states that the Prophet Muhammad did not leave behind any wealth or possessions when he passed away. This includes money such as dinar and dirham, slaves, male or female. However, he did leave behind a white mule which he used to ride on, his weapon and some land which was to be used for charity in the cause of Allah. This hadith serves as an example to us all that we should not become attached to worldly possessions but instead use them in service of Allah's cause. It also teaches us that even though we may have nothing materialistic left behind after our death, our legacy will live on through our good deeds and actions in this world.
