K'ab bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said, "Two hungry wolves sent in the midst of a flock of
sheep are no more destructive to them than a man's greed for wealth and
fame is to his Deen." [At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
The
havoc played by wealth, rank and position, which have been mentioned in
this Hadith, can be seen everywhere today. Even some 'Ulama' and
self-proclaimed pious men have a craze for these things and they have
not been able to save themselves from the ruin caused by it. May Allah
save us from these evils.
No doubt, the greed for wealth and fame destroys our belief and preference of the life of the world over
religion makes us forget about the hereafter.
