Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī Ḥadīth [6446] – Being rich is self-contentment…

There is no end to greediness and avarice in a heart that loses self-restraint and self-contentment. A greedy person is constantly in the hunt for more and more wealth through means fair and foul. Contentment of the heart is only bulwark against the lust of money. Real wealth lies in one’s getting free from avarice and greed and in being contented with what one has.
