Jami at-Tirmidhi 2342 (Book 36, Hadith 39) #27976
The Dangers of Greed and Materialism

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) is warning people against the dangers of greed and materialism, and reminding them that their wealth will not last forever.

Mutarrif narrated from his father, that he met up with the Prophet (s.a.w) while he was saying: "The mutual increase diverts you". He (s.a.w) said: "The son of Adam says:'My wealth, my wealth, but is there something for you from your wealth besides what you give in charity that remains, or you eat which perishes, or what you wear that grows worn?"
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏:‏ ‏(‏أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ ‏)‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلاَّ مَا تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ أَوْ أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
