Narrated
Abu Kabshah:
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said:
"The people in the life of this world are four types of men:
A man to whom Allah has given wealth and knowledge, and who fears
Allah, visits his relatives and knows Allah's right in that, and
this is the
best of positions."
A man to whom Allah has given knowledge but no wealth, and who says
with a sincere intention: "If I have the wealth of that man
(the first), I
will do as he does." With this good intention, his reward will
be
equal to the first man.
The third man is a man to whom Allah had given wealth but no knowledge,
and who spends it randomly without any plan, fearing not his Lord,
visiting no relatives and knowing not Allah's right in that, and
this
is the worst position.
The fourth man is the one to whom Allah has given neither wealth
nor
knowledge, and who says: "If I have wealth, I will do as (the
third
man) does, so with his intention alone he will have equal sins to
the
third man."
