Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) happened to walk through the bazar coming from the side of 'Aliya and the people were on both his sides. There he found a dead lamb with very short ears. He took hold of his ear and said: Who amongst you would like to have this for a dirham? They said: We do not like to have it even for less than that as it is of no use to us. He said: Do you wish to have it (free of any cost)? They said: By Allah, even if it were alive (we would not have liked to possess that), for there is detect in it as its ear is very short; now it is dead also. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the eye of Allah as it (this dead lamb) is in your eye.

Jabir reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) narrating a hadith like this with a slight variation of wording.

Mutarrif reported on the authority of his father: I came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as he was reciting: "Abundance diverts you" (cii. 1). He said: The son of Adam ؑclaims: My wealth, my wealth. And he (the Holy Prophet) said: O son of Adam. is there anything as your belonging except that which you consumed, which you utilised, or which you wore and then it was worn out or you gave as charity and sent it forward?

Mutarrif reported on the authority of his father: I went to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . The rest of the hadith is the same.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A servant says, My wealth, my wealth, but out of his wealth three things are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as charity, and this is what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave it for other people.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of al-'Ala' bin 'Abdul Rahman with the same chain of transmitters.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Three things follow the bier of a dead man, two of them come back and one is left with him: the members of his family, wealth and his-good deeds. The members of his family and wealth come back and the deeds alone are left with him.

'Amr bin 'Auf, who was an ally of Banu 'Amir bin Luwayy (and he was one amongst them) who participated in Badr along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu Ubaida bin Jarrah to Bahrain for collecting Jizya and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had made a truce with the people of Bahrain and had appointed 'Ala' bin Hadrami and Abu Ubaida (for this purpose). They came with wealth from Bahrain and the Ansar heard about the arrival of Abu Ubaida and they had observed the dawn prayer along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had finished the prayer they (the Ansar) came before him and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled as he saw them and then said: I think you have heard about the arrival of Abu Ubaida with goods from Bahrain. They said: Allah's Messenger yes, it is so. Thereupon he said: Be happy and be hopeful of that what gives you delight. By Allah, it is not the poverty about which I fear in regard to you but I am afraid in your case that (the worldly) riches may be given to you as were given to those who had gone before you and you begin to vie with one another for them as they vied for them, and these may destroy you as these destroyed them.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri as reported by Yunus with a slight variation of wording.
