[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Woe to gold and silver!' My companion told me that he went with Umar ibn Al-Khattab and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you mean by saying woe to gold and silver?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'They are a reminder for the tongue, gratitude for the heart, and a wife who assists in the hereafter.'"  

أحمد:٢٣١٠١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي سَلْمٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَاحِبٌ لِي

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنِي صَاحِبِي أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَوْلُكَ تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَاذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَزَوْجَةً تُعِينُ عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ
