Haven't you heard?

That Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir that he said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) while he was saying,

أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ

Translation:

"The mutual increase diverts you." 📚Q102:8

He was referring to the Hadith in which the Prophet said,

«لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَب»

(If the Son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would desire another like it...)

In another hadith,

The Son of Adam says, "My wealth, my wealth." But do you get anything (of benefit) from your wealth except for that which you ate and you finished it, or that which you clothed yourself with and you wore it out, or that which you gave as charity and you have spent it)" 📚Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.

Furthermore,

Al-Bukhari recorded from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"Three things follow the deceased person, and two of them return while one remains behind with him. The things which follow him are his family, his wealth and his deeds. His family and his wealth return while his deeds remain.📚 This Hadith has also been recorded by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.

Now,

*Will the deceased be rewarded for the wealth he left behind for his heirs?*

Accumulating wealth through trade and other allowed means is permissible, and the Muslim will be rewarded for doing permissible things if he intends good thereby, because people’s actions are judged according to their intentions, as the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Deeds are but by intentions and each man will have but that which he intended.” Narrated by al-Bukhari (1) and Muslim (1907).

With regard to the wealth that they leave behind, people are of two types:

The first type is the one who accumulates wealth and hoards it out of stinginess and pride, and does not give charity while he is alive or help the needy or like any of his relatives to benefit from it after he dies, out of envy and ignorance.

There is fear for such a person, because he does not do what he supposed to do while still living and have no any good intention regarding the wealth he leaves behind, and he does not want to show kindness to his relatives.

We have seen cases where we bagged the inheritors to remove something small out of plenty to do good deeds (like sinking a borehole, repairing masjid, sponsoring ophan's education etc) that will benefit their parents, but Wallahi they refused.

Now,

The second one is the one who accumulates wealth......
