[Machine] I heard my father say that Al-Hasan said to his companions, "O son of Adam, how long will you stay preoccupied with worldly matters? By Allah, it will eat you, by Allah, it will make you weary, it will feed you, and it will provide you rest. But it is nothing more than eating, drinking, and desires. How foolish you are! You only gather wealth for a woman who will take it to her husband, or for a man who will take it to his wife. If you can afford to lose one-third of your earnings, then do so."

He said, "I also heard Al-Hasan say, 'O son of Adam, my wealth is my wealth. Do you have any of your wealth left except what you have eaten and used up, what you have worn and worn out, or what you have given and dispensed?'"  

الزهد لأحمد:١٥٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِلَى مَتَى يَا أَهْلَاهُ غَدُّونِي يَا أَهْلَاهُ عَشُّونِي يُوشَكُ وَاللَّهِ يُغَدَّى بِكَ يُوشَكُ وَاللَّهِ يُرَاحُ بِكَ أَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَكْلًا وَبَلْعًا وَشَرْطًا شَرْطًا أَحْمَقُ إِنَّمَا تَجْمَعُ مَالَكَ لِامْرَأَةٍ تَذْهَبُ بِهِ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا أَوْ رَجُلٍ يَذْهَبُ بِهِ إِلَى زَوْجَتِهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَخْسَرَ الثَّلَاثَةِ نَصِيبًا فَافْعَلْ»

قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ: «ابْنَ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي §هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ أَعْطَيْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ»
