وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَعَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ وَعَبْدُ الْخَمِيصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ سَخِطَ تَعِسَ وَانْتَكَسَ وَإِذَا شِيكَ فَلَا انْتُقِشَ. طُوبَى لِعَبْدٍ أَخَذَ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَشْعَثُ رَأْسُهُ مُغْبَرَّةٌ قَدَمَاهُ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ كَانَ فِي الْحِرَاسَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي السَّاقَة كَانَ فِي السَّاقَة وَإِن اسْتَأْذَنَ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَفَعَ لَمْ يشفع» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "May the slave of the dinar, the slave of the dirham and the slave of the cloak perish! (He has only one thing in mind - to amass wealth and name.) If he is given something, he is pleased. If he is not given anything, he is angry, displeased and disappointed. If he is pricked by a thorn, let no one extract it for him (meaning, he should not be helped when he is in difficulty).Blessed is the man who holds the reins of his horse in Allah's path, with unkempt hair and dusty feet. (He participates in jihad (crusade)) If he is assign and to guard (from the front), he is alert on duty, and if he is made a rearguard, he stays there is submission. (In spite of that, he is humility personified and is not esteemed by society so) if he seeks permission to join people's gathering, he is denied permission and if he makes a recommendation, it is turned down."
