Sunan Ibn Majah 4137 (Book 37, Hadith 38) #33493
The True Meaning of Riches

SUMMARY: Contentment with one's lot is true richness.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Richness is not an abundance of worldly goods, rather richness is contentment with one’s lot".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be grateful for what you have been given by Allah
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that true richness does not come from having a lot of worldly possessions. Instead, it comes from being content with what we have and not wanting more than our share. It is important to remember that Allah has given us all different amounts of wealth and possessions for a reason and it is up to us to be thankful for what we have been given. We should strive to make the most out of our situation and be content with whatever Allah has blessed us with.
