Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:"There are three things for which I swear and narrate to you about, so remember it." He said: "The wealth of a slave (of Allah) shall not be decreased by charity, no slave (of Allah) suffers injustice and is patient with it except that Allah adds to his honor; no slave (of Allah) opens up a door to begging except that Allah opens a door for him to poverty"- or a statement similar- "And I shall narrate to you a narration, so remember it." He said: "The world is only for four persons: A slave whom Allah provides with wealth and knowledge, so he has Taqwa of his Lord with it, nurtures the ties of kinship with it, and he knows that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most virtuous rank. And a slave whom Allah provides with knowledge, but He does not provide with wealth. So he has a truthful intent, saying: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their rewards are the same. And a slave whom Allah provides with wealth, but He does not provide him with knowledge. [So he] spends his wealth rashly without knowledge, nor having Taqwa of his Lord, nor nurturing the ties of kinship, and he does not know that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most despicable rank. And a slave whom Allah does not provide with wealth nor knowledge, so he says: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their sin is the same

حدثنا محمد بن اسماعيل، حدثنا ابو نعيم، حدثنا عبادة بن مسلم، حدثنا يونس بن خباب، عن سعيد الطايي ابي البختري، انه قال حدثني ابو كبشة الانماري، انه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ثلاثة اقسم عليهن واحدثكم حديثا فاحفظوه " . قال " ما نقص مال عبد من صدقة ولا ظلم عبد مظلمة فصبر عليها الا زاده الله عزا ولا فتح عبد باب مسالة الا فتح الله عليه باب فقر او كلمة نحوها واحدثكم حديثا فاحفظوه قال " انما الدنيا لاربعة نفر عبد رزقه الله مالا وعلما فهو يتقي فيه ربه ويصل فيه رحمه ويعلم لله فيه حقا فهذا بافضل المنازل وعبد رزقه الله علما ولم يرزقه مالا فهو صادق النية يقول لو ان لي مالا لعملت بعمل فلان فهو بنيته فاجرهما سواء وعبد رزقه الله مالا ولم يرزقه علما فهو يخبط في ماله بغير علم لا يتقي فيه ربه ولا يصل فيه رحمه ولا يعلم لله فيه حقا فهذا باخبث المنازل وعبد لم يرزقه الله مالا ولا علما فهو يقول لو ان لي مالا لعملت فيه بعمل فلان فهو بنيته فوزرهما سواء " . قال ابو عيسى هذا حديث حسن صحيح
