Chapter 81: To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
Narrated Sahl bin Sa 'd: I heard Ibn Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca, delivering a sermon, saying, "O men! The
Prophet used to say, "If the son of Adam were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a
second one; and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a third, for nothing fills the
belly of Adam' s son except dust. And Allah forgives he who repents to Him." Ubai said, "We
considered this as a saying from the Qur' an till the Sura (beginning with) 'The mutual rivalry for piling
up of worldly things diverts you..' ( 102.1) was revealed."
