حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏: ‏ ‏‏(‏أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ ‏)‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَالِي مَالِي وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلاَّ مَا تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ أَوْ أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

Mutarrif reported from his father that he came upon the Prophet reciting, “Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you” (Qur’an 102:1). The Prophet said: “The son of Adam says, ‘My wealth, my wealth!’ But what does he truly have of his wealth except what he gives in charity and sends ahead, what he eats and consumes, or what he wears until it becomes worn out?” Abu Isa graded this hadith hasan sahih.
