"لَوْ كَانَ لابْنِ آدَمَ وَاد من مَال لابْتَغَى إِليه ثَانِيًا وَلَوْ كَانَ لَهُ وَاديَانِ لابْتَغَى لَهُمَا ثَالِثًا، وَلَا يَمْلأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ (إِلّا التُراب) (*)، ويتوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَاب".
See similar narrations below:
Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Aḥmad, Dārimī, 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
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
[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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every son of Adam is a sinner, and the best of sinners are those who repent. If the son of Adam had two valleys full of wealth, he would still seek a third. Nothing can fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ فَخَيْرُ الْخَطَّائِينَ التَّوَّابُونَ وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَابْتَغَى لَهُمَا ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ
[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

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say something but I do not know if it was revealed or if he said it himself. If the son of Adam had a valley full of wealth, he would still desire a second valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam except dust. Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَشَيْءٌ أُنْزِلَ أَمْ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَتَمَنَّى وَادِيًا 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۔»

[Machine] We used to read in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that if the son of Adam had two valleys of gold and silver, he would desire a third, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam except dust. And Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents.
لَقَدْ كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ لَابْتَغَى إِلَيْهِمَا آخَرَ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ 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."

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»

كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ لَتَمَنَّى الثَّالِثُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»

[Machine] We used to come to the Prophet, ﷺ , when the revelation came to him, and he would talk to us. One day he said to us, "If the son of Adam had a valley, he would love to have a second, and if he had two valleys, he would love to have a third. The only thing that fills the son of Adam's belly is dust, and Allah turns to whoever repents."
كُنَّا نَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فَيُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ لَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيًا لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِلَيْهِ ثَانٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّ لَهُ وَادِيَيْنِ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ الثَّالِثُ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ»

If the son of Adam had a valley, he would desire to have another. And if he had two valleys, he would desire to have a third. Nothing can fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust. And Allah turns to whoever repents."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا الْمَالَ لِإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَلَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَادِيَانِ وَلَوْ كَانَ لَهُ وَادِيَانِ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ إِلَيْهِمَا ثَالِثٌ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ
"إِنَّ الله ﷻ قَال: إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا الْمَال لإِقَامِ الصَّلاةِ وإيتاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَلوْ كَان لابْنِ آدَم وادٍ لأحَبَّ أنْ يَكُون لَهُ ثَانٍ، ولَوْ كَان وَادِيَان لأحَبَّ أن يَكُون إِلَيهِما ثَالثٌ، ولا يَمْلأُ جَوْف ابن آدم إلَّا التُّرابُ، ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ الله عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ".
"لَوْ سِيلَ لابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِن مَالٍ لَتَمَنَّى إلَيهِمَا ثَالثًا وَلا يُشْبِعُ ابْنَ آدم إلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ".
