Mishkat al-Masabih 5169 — (Ar-riqaq) Words that soften the heart

Abdullah ibn Shikhkhlr Narrated from:

I came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was reciting (الهكم التكاثر) (the surah # 102, at Takathur). {(O mankind) your rivalry for amassing riches distracts you...} He said, "The son of Aadam says, 'My property, my property!' And he added, "Have you, O son of Aadam, anything aside from what you eat and finish it, what you wear and turn into rags, and what you give as charity and make it ever lasting?"The entire surah is: (In the name of Allah the compassionate, the Merciful. (O mankind) your rivalry for amassing riches distracts you; until you reach the graves. Nay, you shall soon know (the reality), Nay, again, you shall know! Nay, would that you knew (now) with knowledge of certainty! You shall certainly see the Hell fire, Then you shall see it with the eye of certainty, Then you shall be questioned that day concerning the (worldly) blessings} (102: 1-8)
