4063. It was narrated from Abū Al-Ahwaş that his father said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ in a poor quality garment and he said: 'Do you have any wealth?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What kind of wealth?' He said: 'Allāh has given me camels, sheep, horses and slaves.' He said: 'If Allāh has given you wealth, let the signs of Allāh's blessing and generosity be seen on you.'" (Sāḥih)

Arabic text

4063 - حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَوْبٍ دُونٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَكَ مَالٌ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «مِنْ أَيِّ الْمَالِ؟» قَالَ: قَدْ آتَانِي اللَّهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، وَالْغَنَمِ، وَالْخَيْلِ، وَالرَّقِيقِ، قَالَ: «فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ، وَكَرَامَتِهِ»

Commentary

One should take care of what Allāh has blessed him or her with, if they have nice clothes, they should be grateful, if not, they should not desire wealth beyond their means.
