concerning silver and gold was revealed, they said: 'What kind of wealth should we acquire?' Umar said: 'I will tell you about that.' So he rode on his camel and caught up with the Prophet ﷺ, and I followed him. He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, what kind of wealth should we acquire?' He said: 'Let one of you acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allāh and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
The severe rule revealed in regard to gold and silver is this: "And those who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allāh, announce unto them a painful torment." At-Taubah 9:34.
The woman who has faith in her heart, she herself would reflect upon the Hereafter, and she will also assist her husband to adopt the way of righteousness. Therefore, such a virtuous woman is a great favor of Allāh. Any Muslim man should value a woman like this.
