`Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
"Do not
crave for property lest you should be absorbed in the desire of worldly life.''
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
The word
"Dai`ah''
translated here as
"property''
means land, industry, agriculture or business. One
should not be so engrossed in them to the extent that, they become the sole purpose of one's life and all one's efforts
are exhausted to acquire them, thus forgetting all about the Hereafter. To the extent of one's genuine needs and self-
sufficiency, making and maintaining of property, land, industry, agriculture and commerce come in permissible acts.
None of them is forbidden provided the means employed for making and maintaining them are fair and do not
distract one's attention from Allah and the Hereafter.

`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We were repairing our thatchy hut
when Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by and asked us,
"What are you doing?''
We said, "The thatch had gone
weak and we are repairing it.'' He (PBUH) said,
"I see the sure thing (death) approaching sooner than this.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
The word
"Khuss''
means a hut or a house which is made of wood and reed/bamboo and plastered
with mud. The Hadith reminds us to be mindful of death at all times and be certain that there is nothing nearer to us
than it. It also tells us that we should not engage in those worldly things which are bound to make us forget about
our appointed term in this world.

Ka`b bin `Iyad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Verily, there is a
Fitnah (trial) for every nation and the trial for my nation (or Ummah) is wealth.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
The word
"Fitnah''
means trial. Anything with which a person is tried is a Fitnah for him. For this
reason children and property have been regarded Fitnah for mankind in the Noble Qur'an. This Hadith strongly urges
the Muslim Ummah to exercise moderation in their love for worldly goods and riches otherwise all these things,
which are Gifts of Allah, can become a source of woeful torture for them.

bread and water.''
