Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah

, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The heart of an elderly person feels young for the love of two things; love for long life and wealth.”1

The narration of Al-Bukhaari (a scholar) reads slightly differently: “The heart of an old person remains feeling young in two respects, i.e. his love for the world [its wealth, amusements and luxuries] and his in- cessant hope [to live longer].”

An-Nawawi (a scholar) said: “This means that the heart of an old man is totally overwhelmed by the love of wealth and controlled by it just like a young person is controlled by his love to his strength during his young age.”2

Anas narrated that the Prophet of Allah

, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The son of Adam grows older and two qualities continue to grow with him; his love to collect wealth and his keenness to live longer.”3

Al-Mubaarakpoori (a scholar) said commenting on this narration: “The term, “grows older” means he grows to the age of grey hair. The term: “two qualities continue to grow with him” means the presence of these two qual- ities grows stronger. The term: “his love to collect wealth” means he is keen on collecting it but becomes stingy and hates to spend from it.”4
