If there were for the son of Adam a valley full of riches, he would long to possess another one like it. and Ibn Adam does not feel satiated but with dust. And Allah returns to him who returns (to Him). Ibn Abbas said: I do not know whether it is from the Qur'an or not; and in the narration transmitted by Zuhair it was said: I do not know whether it is from the Qur'an, and he made no mention of Ibn Abbas.  

مسلم:١٠٤٩وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ مِلْءَ وَادٍ مَالاً لأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِثْلُهُ وَلاَ يَمْلأُ نَفْسَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَاللَّهُ يَتُوبُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَمِنَ الْقُرْآنِ هُوَ أَمْ لاَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَمِنَ الْقُرْآنِ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ

bukhari:6437Muḥammad > Makhlad > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Ibn ʿAbbās

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If the son of Adam had money equal to a valley, then he will wish for another similar to it, for nothing can satisfy the eye of Adam's son except dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him."

Ibn ʿAbbas said: I do not know whether this saying was quoted from the Qur'an or not. ʿAta' said, "I heard Ibn al-Zubayr saying this narration while he was on the pulpit."  

البخاري:٦٤٣٧حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «لَوْ أَنَّ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ مِثْلَ وَادٍ مَالاً لأَحَبَّ أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ مِثْلَهُ وَلاَ يَمْلأُ عَيْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ۔»

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلاَ أَدْرِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ هُوَ أَمْ لاَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ

[Machine] I heard the Prophet of Allahﷺ saying, "If the son of Adam had a valley full of money, they would love to have another similar to it, and nothing fills the son of Adam's soul except dust. Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent." Ibn Abbas said, "I do not know if this is from the Quran or not."

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا رَكَّبَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِي أَوْلَادِ آدَمَ مِنَ الْحِرْصِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَذِرَةً زَائِلَةً

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "If the son of Adam had a valley of wealth, he would desire to have another similar to it. However, nothing can fill the soul of the son of Adam except dust. Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent."

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ أَنَّ أَوْلَادَ آدَمَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ حُكْمُهُمْ فِي مَا وَصَفْنَاهُ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَمْوَالِ كَحُكْمِهِمْ فِي النَّخْلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ
