حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ وَالَّذِينَ يَکْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ أُنْزِلَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَا أُنْزِلَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَيُّ الْمَالِ خَيْرٌ فَنَتَّخِذَهُ فَقَالَ أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانٌ ذَاکِرٌ وَقَلْبٌ شَاکِرٌ وَزَوْجَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ تُعِينُهُ عَلَی إِيمَانِهِ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَعِيلَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سَالِمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ سَمِعَ مِنْ ثَوْبَانَ فَقَالَ لَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِمَّنْ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعَ مِنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ وَذَکَرَ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3094
Narrated Thawban: When (the following) was revealed: And those who hoard up gold and silver... (9:34) He said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (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.'
