ahmad:16327ʿAffān > Hammām > Qatādah > Muṭarrif b. ʿAbdullāh from his father

[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah while he was reciting Surah Al-Haqqah until he reached the verse "Until you visit the graves." He then said, "The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth. But O son of Adam, do you have anything from your wealth except what you eat and then it is gone, what you wear and then it is worn out, or what you give away in charity and then it is spent? And Qatadah used to say: Every charity that is not collected is of no benefit."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي وَهَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُ كُلُّ صَدَقَةٍ لَمْ تُقْبَضْ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ

muslim:2958aHaddāb b. Khālid > Hammām > Qatādah > Muṭarrif from his father

I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ as he was reciting:" Abundance diverts you" (cii. 1). He said: The son of Adam claims: My wealth, my wealth. And he (the Holy Prophet) said: O son of Adam. is there anything as your belonging except that which you consumed, which you utilised, or which you wore and then it was worn out or you gave as charity and sent it forward?

"The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you, 'Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).' The son of Adam says: 'My wealth, my wealth,' but your wealth is what you eat and consume, or what you wear and it wears out, or what you give in charity and send on ahead (for the Hereafter).'"
