Utilise Your Wealth

A man came to the Prophet wearing shabby old clothes….

عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ثَوْبٍ دُونٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَلَكَ مَالٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مِنْ أَىِّ الْمَالِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَدْ آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَلْيُرَ عَلَيْكَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَكَرَامَتِهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

The Prophet asked him: “Do you have any wealth?”

He replied: “Yes, all kinds of wealth.”

… The Prophet then said to the man: “If God has blessed you with wealth, then let the effect of God’s blessing and generosity be seen on you.”
