Sayyiduna Thawban Radiallahu Anhu reported:
“When the verses about gold and silver were revealed, they said, ‘What kind of wealth should we acquire?’ Umar Radiallahu Anhu said, ‘I will find out for you.’ He rode on his camel until he caught up to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, I followed him. Umar Radiallahu Anhu said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what kind of wealth should we acquire?’ Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, ‘You should acquire a grateful heart, a tongue that makes the zikr of Allah Taàlah, and a believing wife to help you in the matters of the Hereafter.’ ”
(Sunan Ibn Majah)
