2337. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If the son of Ādam had a valley of gold, then he would still like to have a second. And nothing fills his mouth but dust, Allāh turns to whoever repents." (Ṣaḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Ubayy bin Ka'b, Abū Sa'eed, 'Āishah, Ibn Az-Zubair, Abū Wāqid, Jābir, Ibn 'Abbās, and Abū Hurairah. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route.

٢٣٣٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبِي ، عَنْ ‌صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ ثَالِثٌ،» وَلَا يَمْلَأُ فَاهُ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَأَبِي وَاقِدٍ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

Greed for wealth is so powerful in man, that even if his whole house is filled with bricks of silver and gold, and all the fields and forests around him are plated with precious metals, his thirst for them will not be quenched, and he will still long for more.
