The status of the wealthy in luxury
They are those who lived in luxury in the world of this life. They remained in wealth except that on the Day of Resurrection, they are the few who will have a great loss. The Prophet (peace be upon him) took an oath over it. This is not in its entirity. The Prophet (peace be upon him) excluded those of them who spend their wealth for the sake of good. They do not enter this loss. From the two Sahih from the Hadith of Abu Thar who said: “I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was sitting in the shadow of the Kaaba. When he saw me, he said: “They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka`ba! They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!" I said (to myself), "What is wrong with me? Is anything improper detected in me? What is wrong with me? Then I sat beside him and he kept on saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what sorrowful state I was at that time. So I said, ' Who are they (the losers)? Let My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger!" He said, "They are the wealthy people, except the one who does like this and like this and like this (i.e., spends of his wealth in Allah's Cause).”[1]
In a narration: “The wealthy persons would have little (reward) on the Day of Resurrection, except upon whom Allah conferred goodness (wealth). He dispensed it to his right, left, in front of him and at his back (just as the wind diffuses fragrance) and did good with it (riches).
