"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّكُمْ مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِه؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلا مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِه، قَالَ: اعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ، قَالُوا: مَا نَعْلَمُ إِلا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ، قَالُوا: كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ ! قَالَ: إِنَّمَا مَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ مَا قَدَّمَ، وَمَالُ وَارِثِهِ مَا أَخَّرَ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Which of you loves his wealth more than the wealth of his heir? They said: O Messenger of Allah! None of us is there but his wealth is dearer to him than the wealth of his heir. He said: Know what you are saying. They said: We know nothing but that, O Messenger of Allah. He said: None of you is there but the wealth of his heir is dearer to him than his own wealth. They said: How is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: The wealth of one of you is only what he has sent forward, and the wealth of his heir is what he has left behind."
