Explanation of the sixth hadith in the Heart Therapy Series:
The Messenger salla Allahi alayhi wa sallam said: (O Abu Dharr, do you suppose that abundance of wealth is affluence? Affluence is the richness of the heart and poverty is the poverty of the heart. The one who is rich in heart will not be harmed by what they face in this world, and the one who is poor in heart will not be enriched by how much they acquire of this world. What harms his self is its shuh [i.e. avarice])
Reported by ibn Habban and al-Tabarani and is declared to be sahih by al-Albani (Sahih al-Jami‘ 7816)
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: يا أبا ذَرٍّ أَتَرى أنَّ كَثْرَةَ المالِ هو الغِنَى إنَّما الغِنَى غِنَى القلبِ والفقرُ فقرُ القلبِ مَنْ كانَ الغِنَى فِي قلبِهِ فلا يَضُرُّهُ ما لَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنيا ومَنْ كانَ الفقرُ في قلبهِ فلا يُغنيهِ ما أُكْثِرَ لهُ مِنَ الدُّنيا وإنَّما يَضُرُّ نَفْسَهُ شُحُّها
