    People, Greed And Prayers

    Hadith Four

    The Prophet's MHMD Recommendation
    That None Be Burdensome
    Nor Covetous Among People, And
    To Perform One's Prayer Intensely
    For It May Be One's Last

    Narrated from Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas (ra): A man came
    to the Prophet MHMD and said: "O Messenger of
    Allah, advise me!"He replied: "Expect nothing from
    what people possess. Beware of greed, for it is
    immediate poverty. Perform your prayer as one
    departing. Beware of what one apologizes for."
