Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّكُمْ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِهِ قَالَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدَّمْتَ وَمَالُ وَارِثِكِ مَا أَخَّرْتَ.
English Translation
Abu Mu’awiyah told us: al-A’mash told us, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from al-Harith ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Which of you loves the wealth of his heir more than his own wealth?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is not one of us but his own wealth is more beloved to him than the wealth of his heir." He said, "Know that there is not one of you but the wealth of his heir is more beloved to him than his own wealth: you have nothing of your wealth except what you have sent forward, while what you leave behind is the wealth of your heir."
