4136. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Wretched is the slave of the Dirham, the slave of the Dirham, the slave of the Khamisah. He is wretched and will be thrown (into Hell) on his face, and if he is pricked with a thorn may find no relief.” (Sahih)
4136 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ، وَعَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ، وَعَبْدُ الْخَمِيصَةِ، تَعِسَ وَانْتَكَسَ، وَإِذَا شِيكَ فَلَا انْتَقَشَ»

Craving after the world is disliked. If the basis of likes and dislikes is based only on worldly benefits, then the sincerity disappears. In this case, even the pledge of allegiance to a ruler or his deputy will not be for the sake of Allāh or to protect and serve a Muslim government. Hence, such a huge good deed also becomes deprived of its blessings and turns into a bad act. The one who adores money is cursed to be destroyed. The expression of falling on face and turning upside down proves this meaning. Not taking out the thorn which is pierced means let him drown in troubles, not finding any way to get out of his problems and troubles.
