Nothing ends greed except death

ahmad:12803Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Anas b. Mālik

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."  

أحمد:١٢٨٠٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

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۔»
