يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: مَالِي مَالِي، إِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ: مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى، أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَى، أَوْ أَعْطَى فَاقْتَنَى، وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ ذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِكُهُ لِلنَّاسِ
Transliteration
Yaqulu-l-'abdu: mali mali, innama lahu min malihi thalath: ma akala fa-afna, aw labisa fa-abla, aw a'ta fa-qtana, wa ma siwa dhalika fa-huwa dhahibun wa tarikuhu li-n-nas.
Translation
The servant says: My wealth, my wealth. But of his wealth he has only three: what he ate and consumed, what he wore and exhausted, or what he gave away and kept. Everything else is leaving and being left to others.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih Muslim 2959
