2374. Khawlah bint Qais, who was the wife of Ḥamzah bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed this wealth is green and
sweet. Whoever gets what he deserves of it then he shall be blessed in it. And many a person who deals with what he wants for himself, from the wealth of Allāh and His Messenger, gets nothing on the Day of Judgement but the Fire.” (Ḥasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Abū Al-Walīd’s (a narrator the chain) name is ‘Ubaid [bin Sanuwtā].

Commentary
Mutakhawwid in Arabic is a person who deals with his possessions as he likes without any regret or hesitation, or rashly spends his wealth.
Worldly riches and wealth are things tempting and sweet. The eye and the heart are attracted towards it. The Sharī‘ah has, however, put limits to its earning and spending. As such, begging for it needlessly from the people or misappropriating public treasury is absolutely unlawful in Islam. Money taken lawfully and for rightful purposes is blessed by Allāh.
