Sunan Ibn Majah 1856 (Book 9, Hadith 12) #31208
Acquiring Wealth for the Hereafter

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter.

It was narrated that: Thawban said: "When the Verse concerning silver and gold was revealed, they said: 'What kind of wealth should we acquire?' Umar said: 'I will tell you about that'. So he rode on his camel and caught up with the Prophet, and I followed him. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah what kind of wealth should we acquire?' He said: 'Let one of you acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter'. "

A thankful heart is one which appreciates all of God's blessings and never complains or grumbles about anything.
