Being Grateful To Allah and Thanking him for the favours and wealth conferred upon us Sahih Muslim Book 42, Number 7070:Abu
Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don't look at
those who stand at a higher level than you, for this would make the
favours (conferred upon you by Allah) insignificant(in your eyes). Abu
Mu'awiya said: Upon you.
Avoiding Envy and jealousy over wealthSahih Muslim Book 42, Number 7068:Abu
Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in
regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who
stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he
stands) at a higher level (as compared to
him).The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer.

b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
happened to walk through the bazar coming from the side of 'Aliya and
the people were on both his sides.There he found a dead lamb with very
short ears. He took hold of his ear and said: Who amongst you would like
to have this for a dirham? They said: We do not like to have it even
for less than that as it is of no use to us. He said: Do you wish to
have it (free of any cost)?They said: By Allah, even if it
were alive (we would not have liked to possess that), for there is
detect in it as its ear is very short; now it is dead also.Thereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: By Allah, this world is
more insignificant in the eye of Allah as it (this dead lamb) is in your
eye.Wealth Spent on oneself , one's family and on others(the poor and needy) is money saved for the Hereafter , Wealth spent is wealth saved

peace be upon him) as he was reciting: "Abundance diverts you" .He
said: The son of Adam claims: My wealth, my wealth.And he (the Holy
Prophet) said: O son of Adam. is there anything as your belonging except
that which you consumed, which you utilised, or which you wore and then
it was worn out or you gave as charity and sent it
forward?
Sahih Muslim Book 42, Number 7063:Abu
Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A
servant says, My wealth. my wealth, but out of his wealth three things
are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he
dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as charity, and this is
what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is
beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave
it for other people.This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
al-'Ala' b. 'Abd al-Rahman with the same chain of transmitters.Spend and Allah will give Sahih Muslim Book 5, Number 2178:Abu

which he spends on his animal in Allah's path, and the dinar he spends
on his companions in Allah's path. Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators)
said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said:

members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and
