Thawban said: “When the Verse concerning silver and gold was revealed, they said: 'What kind of wealth should we acquire?' Umar said: 'I will tell you about that.' So he rode on his camel and caught up with the Prophet, and I followed him. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah what kind of wealth should we acquire?' He said: 'Let one of you acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1856)
لَمَّا نَزَلَ فِي الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ مَا نَزَلَ قَالُوا فَأَيَّ الْمَالِ نَتَّخِذُ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ قَالَ فَأَوْضَعَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ فَأَدْرَكَهُ وَأَنَا فِي أَثَرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَّ الْمَالِ نَتَّخِذُ؟ قَالَ لِيَتَّخِذْ أَحَدُكُمْ قَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَلِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَزَوْجَةً تُعِينُهُ عَلَى أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ
