2336. Ka’b bin ‘Iyāḏ narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed there is a Fitnah for every Ummah, and the Fitnah for my Ummah is wealth.” (Saḥīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīh Gharīb, we only know of it through the narration of Mu’āwiyah bin Ṣāliḥ (a narrator in the chain).
٢٣٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فِتْنَةً وَفِتْنَةُ أُمَّتِي الْمَالُ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ، إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ.

The more the love and greed of wealth increases, the more upsurge will we find in an attitude of disobedience to the commands of Allāh. Particularly in our present times, we are witnessing an unprecedented spiral in greed for wealth to an extent that it has the entire world in its grip. Consequently, the amassing of wealth has become man's greatest concern. The people aspire to become millionaires overnight through means fair or foul. Allāh and the Hereafter just do not figure in his scheme of things. This is the veritable convolution that our present generation finds itself caught up in.
