Abstain from avarice

Abstain from avarice​

195

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As may Allah be pleased with them:The Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, preached and said:

Abstain from avarice, for those who were before you were ruined due to avarice. It (avarice) commanded them to show niggardliness so they did; it commanded them to cut off their relationship with their nearest relatives, so they cut off. It commanded them to show profligacy, so they showed it.
