Sahih al-Bukhari #6192

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَهْوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا لَمْ تَنْقُصْهُمُ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئًا، وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ شَيْئًا، لاَ نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلاَّ التُّرَابَ‏.‏
I came to Khabbab while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab) said, "Our companions who have left this world, did not enjoy anything of their reward therein, while we have collected after them, much wealth that we cannot spend but on earth (i.e., on building).
Narrated by Narrated Qais:

Context

In this hadith, Khabbab reflects on the fate of the early companions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) who faced persecution and hardship. He emphasizes that despite their struggles, they did not lose out on their rewards in the Hereafter. Khabbab's statement highlights the contrast between the material wealth they acquired after their passing and the spiritual rewards that the earlier companions received, which were not diminished by worldly possessions.

Modern Application

This principle reminds us that while we may seek financial stability and success in our careers, it is essential to prioritize our spiritual well-being and the legacy we leave behind. Engaging in charitable acts and supporting our communities can ensure that our wealth serves a greater purpose beyond mere accumulation.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Community and Wealth because it discusses the relationship between worldly possessions and spiritual rewards, emphasizing the importance of community support and the transient nature of material wealth.

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
