(Narration from another chain) The narrator says: A man came to his family, and when he saw their need, he went out towards other creation. When his wife saw this situation, she went to the millstone and set it right, then went to the oven and lit it, and then said: O Allah! Provide for us. Then she saw that the tub was filled, and when she looked at the oven, it too was filled. When the husband returned, he asked: Has anything come after I left? His wife said: Yes, a lot has come from Allah Almighty. Then he went to the millstone and... When this matter was mentioned to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: If he had not lifted it, it would have kept running until the Day of Resurrection. I was present with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he said: By Allah! If any one of you were to gather firewood and bring it, and sell it to avoid asking (begging), this act would be better for him than going to someone and asking him for something.

It is narrated from the uncle of Abdullah bin Khubaib, he says: We were sitting in a gathering when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us, and there were traces of water on his head. We said: O Messenger of Allah! You look cheerful and pleasant. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes. Then people started talking about wealth, upon which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is no harm in wealth for the one who fears Allah, but for the one who fears Allah, good health is better than wealth, and being cheerful is also among the blessings.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to me that, "Put on your clothes and take your weapon and come to me." So I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was performing ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards me and then lowered it and said: "I intend to send you to such-and-such army, so Allah will keep you safe and will grant you spoils of war, and I desire for you a good share of wealth." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I did not become a Muslim because of wealth; I accepted Islam out of desire for Islam and to be in your company." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Amr! Good wealth is the best thing for a righteous man."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no envy except in two cases: one is the person whom Allah Almighty has given wealth and then granted him the ability to spend it in the right way, and the other is the person whom Allah Almighty has endowed with wisdom and understanding, so he judges by it and teaches it to the people.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Eat, drink, give charity, and wear (clothes), but there should be neither arrogance nor extravagance.

(Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that at the end these words are added: Indeed, Allah Almighty likes that the effect of His blessing be seen upon His servant.

It is narrated from the father of Abu Al-Ahwas, he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I was wearing one or two sheets. In one narration it is stated: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw me in a disheveled state and then asked: Do you have wealth? I said: Yes, Allah Almighty has given me horses, camels, sheep, goats, and slaves, all kinds of wealth. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If Allah Almighty has granted you wealth, then its blessing should be visible on you. Then, when I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I was wearing a red garment.

(Second chain) When Abu Al-Ahwas's father came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he was in a disheveled and shabby state. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not have wealth?" He replied: "Yes, Allah Almighty has given me all kinds of wealth." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when Allah bestows a blessing upon His servant, He likes that its effect be seen on him."

It is also narrated from the father of Abu Al-Ahwas that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are three kinds of hands: one is the hand of Allah Almighty, which is the highest of all; the second is the hand of the giver, whose rank is below the hand of Allah Almighty; and the third is the hand of the beggar, which is the lowest of all. Therefore, you must certainly spend your surplus wealth and do not become helpless before your own self."

Whenever Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated any hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would mostly also mention that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty intends good for someone, He grants him understanding in religion. And this wealth is sweet and lush, meaning attractive; so whoever takes it with its due right, it will be blessed for him. And avoid praising one another, for it is akin to slaughtering.
