حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ الْعَلَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِي مَالِي إِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ مَا أَکَلَ فَأَفْنَی أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَی أَوْ أَعْطَی فَاقْتَنَی وَمَا سِوَی ذَلِکَ فَهُوَ ذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِکُهُ لِلنَّاسِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7422
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: A servant says, My wealth. my wealth, but out of his wealth three things are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as charity, and this is what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave it for other people.
