English translation

3643. It was narrated from Muṭarrif, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you, 'Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).'[1] The son of Âdam says: 'My wealth, my wealth,' but your wealth is what you eat and consume, or what you wear and it wears out, or what you give in charity and send on ahead (for the Hereafter)."(Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3613 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: {أَلْهَاكُمْ التَّكَاثُرُ حَتَّى زُرْتُمِ الْمَقَابِرَ} [التكاثر: 2]، قَالَ: " يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَإِنَّمَا مَالُكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ "
