Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Richness is not the abundance of wealth, rather it is self-sufficiency.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Self-sufficiency means that man lives on whatever he possesses, remains contentedly independent of others and avoids begging of them. Herein lies a suggestion that man should submit to Divine dispensation. He should not desire more than he needs, nor should he keep an eye on the wealth of others.
Riyad-us-Saliheen (522)
