Question

What is the reference for this statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu)?

قال ابن مسعود: الدنيا دار من لا دار له، ومال من لا مال له، ولها يجمع من لا عقل له

 

Answer

This statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) is recorded in Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Ahmad, Dhammud Dunya of Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abid Dunya and Shu’abul Iman of Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah).

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said: “The world is an abode for whom [in reality] there is no abode, a wealth for one who has no wealth and the one who has no intelligence gathers it.”

(Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Ahmad: 883, Dhammud Dunya: 16 and Shu’abul Iman: 10153)

These words have also been reported as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). See here.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
