حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَغْرَاءَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ‏:‏ مَنِ اتَّقَى رَبَّهُ، وَوَصَلَ رَحِمَهُ، نُسِّئَ فِي أَجَلِهِ، وَثَرَى مَالُهُ، وَأَحَبَّهُ أَهْلُهُ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us, saying: Sufyan informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from Maghra’, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: “Whoever is mindful of his Lord and maintains his ties of kinship will have his term of life extended, his wealth made abundant, and will be loved by his family.”

  • وَثَرَى مَالُهُ

    The verb ثَرَى is uncommon and may convey that his wealth grows or becomes abundant.

    Is ‘his wealth will prosper’ preferable to ‘his wealth will become abundant’ for this wording?
