"لَوْ أَنَّ لِلإنْسَانِ وَادِيَينِ مِنْ مَالٍ لابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالثًا، وَلَا يَمْلأُ نَفْسَ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَيَتُوبُ الله عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, SuyūṭīI heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being) had two valleys of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who repents to Him."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لاَبْتَغَى ثَالِثًا وَلاَ يَمْلأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
Nothing except death ends the greed of a human being
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Adam's son had a valley full of gold, he would like to have two valleys, for nothing fills his mouth except dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَوْ أَنَّ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَادِيَانِ وَلَنْ يَمْلأَ فَاهُ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ.»
If the son of Adam were to possess two valleys of riches. he would long for the third one. And the stomach of the son of Adam is not filled but with dust. And Allah returns to him who repents.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كَانَ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لاَبْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا وَلاَ يَمْلأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
“If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would love to have a third along with them. Nothing could satisfy him except dust. And Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُمَا ثَالِثٌ وَلاَ يَمْلأُ نَفْسَهُ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to say, "If the son of Adam had two valleys full of wealth, he would wish for a third valley. And nothing would fill the son of Adam's belly except dust." Al-Affan said, "Then Allah will accept the repentance of those who repent."
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ إِذًا لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ قَالَ عَفَّانُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْتَابَ
[Machine] I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ saying, "If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would desire a third valley, and nothing can fill the stomach of the son of Adam except dust (i.e. death), and Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent."
سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being) had two valleys of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who repents to Him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6436)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى إِلَيْهِمَا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
Nothing ends greed except death
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ – and I do not know whether something was Revealed down upon him or he used to say, "If the son of Adam owned two valleys, he would certainly wish for" or "certaintly want a third valley. And nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except the dirt ˹of the grave˺, yet Allah turns to whoever repents."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ – فَلَا أَدْرِي أَشَيْءٌ أُنْزِلَ أَوْ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ –: «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَتَمَنَّى» أَوْ «لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا۔ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ۔»
“If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would love to have a third along with them. Nothing could satisfy him except dust. And Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4235)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَادٍ آخَرُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ فَاهُ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
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."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ مِلْءَ وَادِي مَالٍ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ مِثْلُهُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ نَفْسَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَاللَّهُ يَتُوبُ عَلَى مِنْ تَابَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would desire a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except the dust. Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ لَابْتَغَى إِلَيْهِ ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ أَنَّ أَوْلَادَ آدَمَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ حُكْمُهُمْ فِي مَا وَصَفْنَاهُ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَمْوَالِ كَحُكْمِهِمْ فِي النَّخْلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "If the son of Adam had a valley filled with wealth, he would desire to have another one similar to it. But nothing fills the son of Adam's soul except dust, and Allah forgives those who repent."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيًا مَالًا لَأُحِبَّ أَنَّ لَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ نَفْسَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ حُكْمَ الْمَرْءِ فِيمَا وَصَفْنَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَادِيَانِ حُكْمُ وَادٍ وَاحِدٍ فِي الِاسْتِزَادَةِ عَلَيْهِمَا
If the son of Adam were to possess two valleys of riches. he would long for the third one. And the stomach of the son of Adam is not filled but with dust. And Allah returns to him who repents. (Using translation from Muslim 1048a)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»
[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'If a person had two valleys of wealth, he would seek a third, and nothing would fill the stomach of a human except dust. Then Allah ﷻ accepts the repentance of those who repent.'"
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْ كَانَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ وَادِيَانِ مِنَ الْمَالِ لَالْتَمَسَ الثَّالِثَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَ الْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»

"لَوْ كَانَ للإِنْسَانِ وَادِيَان مِنَ المَالِ لالتمَسَ الثَّالِثَ وَلَا يَمْلأُ بَطنَ الإِنْسَانِ إلا التُّرَابُ، ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ".
