Exemplifying Story

hadith

True Richness

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Richness is not having many possessions. Rather, true richness is the richness of the soul." Al-Mughni enriches people in different ways. Some receive material wealth, others receive contentment that makes them feel rich despite having little. Abu Dhar once asked the Prophet ﷺ about wealth, and he was told that the best wealth is a remembering tongue, a grateful heart, and a believing wife who helps in faith. Al-Mughni enriches each person with what is best for them.

Lesson

Al-Mughni's enrichment is not limited to material wealth. True richness is contentment of heart. Ask Him for enrichment of soul alongside provision of body.
