(81) بَابُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ سَقْطٌ
'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said, "Which of you prefers the money of heirs to hisown money?" "Messenger of Allah," they replied, "there is none of us whodoes not prefer his own wealth to that of his heirs." The Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Know that there is not oneof you who does not prefer his heirs' money to his own. Your wealth is whatyou have spent (for Allah) and the wealth of your heirs is what you leave." (FR)
