حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ: لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {الَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ، وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ} [التوبة: ٣٤] قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ. فَقَالَ: بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ قَدْ نَزَلَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَا نَزَلَ، فَلَوْ أَنَّا عَلِمْنَا أَيُّ الْمَالِ خَيْرٌ اتَّخَذْنَاهُ فَقَالَ: " أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا، وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا، وَزَوْجَةً مُؤْمِنَةً، ، تُعِينُهُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ " (١)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah..." — he says that at that time we were accompanying the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey. So a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: The command regarding gold and silver has been revealed, but if we could know which wealth is best, we would keep that with us. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best wealth is a tongue that remembers (Allah), a grateful heart, and a Muslim wife who helps him in his faith.
