[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said: The heart of the elderly person will continue to be youthful in two things; love for wealth and having long hope.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٧٦٦عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نِزَارٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مَبْرُورٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ قَلْبُ الشَّيْخِ شَابًّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ فِي حُبِّ الْمَالِ وَطُولِ الْأَمَلِ
