Hadith 33:85
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Shaqiq, who said: Mu'awiyah entered upon his maternal uncle, Abu Hashim ibn Utbah, to visit him [during his illness], and he wept. Mu'awiyah said to him, "What makes you weep, O my uncle? Is it a pain that distresses you, or is it a craving for the world?" He said, "No, it is neither.

So, it is sufficient for you from the gathering of wealth [to have] a servant and a mount in the way of Allah.' And I see that I have gathered [more than that]."
