"أيكُمْ مَالُ وَارثِهِ أحَبُّ إِلَيهِ مِنْ مَاله؟ قالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: مَا مِنْ أَحَد إِلا مَالُه أحبُّ إِلَيه قَال: فَإِن مَالهُ مَا قَدَّمَ وَمَال وارِثِهِ مَا أَخَّرَ".

bukhari:6442ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > Ibrāhīm al-Taymī > al-Ḥārith b. Sūwayd > ʿAbdullāh

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more." The Prophet ﷺ said, "So his wealth is whatever he spends (in Allah's Cause) during his life (on good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his death."  

البخاري:٦٤٤٢حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيُّكُمْ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ مَالَهُ مَا قَدَّمَ وَمَالُ وَارِثِهِ مَا أَخَّرَ

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'For whom among you is the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not dearer to him than the wealth of his heirs.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Know that there is no one among you for whom the wealth of his heirs is not dearer than his own wealth. Your wealth is that which you have sent on ahead, and the wealth of your heirs is that which you have kept.'"
