حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had said: Richness does not lie in the abundance of (worldly) goods but richness is the richness of the soul (heart, self).

سعید بن مسیب نے کہا : حضرت عثمان بن ابی عاص ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے کہا : رسول اللہﷺ نے آخری بات جو میرے ذمے لگائی یہ تھی : ’’ جب تم لوگوں کی امامت کراؤ تو انہیں نماز ہلکی پڑھاؤ

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) highlights that true richness is not in the abundance of wealth. Rather, it is self-sufficiency. So a person becomes the richest of people when he sufficiently relies on what he already possesses and is contented with it, without being keen to gain more or insisting on demanding more.
