LESSENING OF WEALTH REDUCES ACCOUNTABILITY

Hadrat Mahmood ibn Labeeb R.A. quotes the Holy Prophet s.a.w. to have stated man does not appreciate two things which are better for him. One is death which he fears, not knowing that it is better than odd mischiefs, the other lessening of wealth which he dislikes without knowing that it reduces accountability as well.

Hadrat Zar'aa ibn. Abdullah R.A. quotes the Holy Prophet s.a.w. to have stated that the man loves life although death is better for him. And he loves possession of much wealth although lessening of wealth reduces accountability as well.
(Baihaqi)

Ummu Darda' R. Anha says that she questioned Abu Darda' as to why he does not ask for money and position from the Prophet as some others do. Abu Darda' replied that the Prophet s.a.w. has said "In front of you lies a difficult valley. Those laden with riches cannot traverse it" I therefore, prefer that I should be light weighted to climb the steep path.
(Baihaqi)

HAPPINESS DOES NOT COME FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF GOODS BUT FROM A CONTENTED HEART
