2375. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Cursed be the slave of the Dīnār, cursed be the slave of the Dirham.” (Da‘if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb from this route. This Ḥadīth has also been reported through routes other than this from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ in a more complete and longer form than this.
٢٣٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لُعِنَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ، وَلُعِنَ عَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيْضًا أَتَمَّ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَطْوَلَ.

Slave of wealth or worship of wealth means getting so much engrossed in its quest and love and avarice as to be forgetful of Allāh's bounds of the prohibited and the permissible, as if his only vocation is to amass Dīnārs and Dirham and serve them like deities. Such a person shall certainly be deprived and removed from Allāh's blessing and mercy.
