Showing Off Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised a man to dress well and show off his wealth.

It was narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas that his father said: "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah SAW and he saw me looking scruffy. The Prophet SAW said: 'Do you have anything?' He said: 'Yes, Allah has given me all kinds of wealth'. He said: 'If you have wealth, let it be seen on you'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَرَآنِي سَيِّئَ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ قَدْ آتَانِي اللَّهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا كَانَ لَكَ مَالٌ فَلْيُرَ عَلَيْكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of dressing well and showing off one's wealth. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was advising a man who had come to him looking scruffy. He asked if he had any wealth, and when the man said yes, he told him that it should be seen on him. This means that people should take pride in their appearance and not be ashamed of their wealth or possessions. It also teaches us to be generous with our money by spending it on ourselves as well as others in need. We should use our money wisely so that we can benefit from it while also helping those around us who are less fortunate than us.
