Sunan an-Nasai 3612 (Book 30, Hadith 2) #18226
The Wealth of One's Heirs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the wealth of one's heirs is more important than one's own wealth.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'For whom among you is the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not dearer to him than the wealth of his heirs'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Know that there is no one among you for whom the wealth of his heirs is not dearer than his own wealth. Your wealth is that which you have sent on ahead, and the wealth of your heirs is that which you have kept'."
أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ أَيُّكُمْ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِهِ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَالُكَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ وَمَالُ وَارِثِكَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught his followers an important lesson about wealth and inheritance. He asked them if their own wealth was dearer to them than the wealth of their heirs. Everyone answered that their own wealth was dearer to them. However, the Prophet then explained that in reality, it should be the other way around - our heirs' wealth should be more important to us than our own. This is because our own money is something we have sent on ahead for ourselves in this world and beyond; whereas our heirs' money is something we have kept for them after we are gone. Therefore, it should be a priority for us to ensure that they are taken care of financially when we are no longer here with them.
