3094. Thawbān said: “When (the following) was revealed: And those who hoard up gold and silver...”[3] He said: “We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during one of his journeys, so some of his Companions said: (This) has been revealed about gold and silver, if we knew which wealth was better then we would use it. So he ﷺ said: “The most virtuous of it is a remembering tongue, a grateful heart, and a believing wife that helps him with his faith.” (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. I asked Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl, saying to him: "Did Sālim bin Abī Al-Ja'd (a narrator in the chain) hear from Thawbān?" He said: "No." So I said to him: "Whom among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ did he hear from?" He said: "He heard from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh and Anas bin Mālik." And he mentioned others from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
