Explanation of the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn al-Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: (The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth

The Shaykh : The hadith that follows it is also authentic. He said: And from 'Abdullah ibn al-Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
Perhaps what I said in the previous hadith: It was narrated by Muslim; the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in which he says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was narrated by Muslim.
The hadith that follows it: From 'Abdullah ibn al-Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and he was reciting: . He said (peace and blessings be upon him): . This is also in the meaning of the hadith before it, even though some of its wording differs =

= This hadith was narrated by Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, and al-Nasa'i. He said: "Hadiths of this type regarding charity and spending have come before." The hadith is clear in meaning in its wording, except that its ending may be difficult for some: . If it had stopped at his saying: , it might appear to some people that the meaning was complete and clear. So why did he add to his saying: ? That is to draw attention (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is not sufficient to give charity by making a bequest—for example, saying, "Give so much to such-and-such a poor person, and so much to such-and-such a mosque, and so much to such-and-such a mosque" as a bequest. Rather, the Messenger (peace be upon him) draws attention to the fact that the charity whose benefit is certain for the one who gives it is that which he makes to last; meaning, he executes it during his lifetime. Because he does not know what will happen if he bequeaths it to be spent after his death. And perhaps the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this word—namely: —is referring to an authentic hadith in al-Bukhari whose wording does not come to my mind now, but whose meaning is that the stingy, miserly man is the one who, when death approaches him, makes a bequest and says: "Give so much to such-and-such, and so much to such-and-such, and so much to such-and-such." So the Messenger (peace be upon him) says: And this was for such-and-such and such-and-such; meaning, you no longer own anything, because you are bidding farewell to the world for the Hereafter. So this wealth will remain for the people after you. Why was this not done before this? That is: Why did you not execute it and give charity while you were strong, hoping for wealth and fearing poverty? This is part of the complete wording of the hadith that does not come to my mind now.
So means that you execute the charity while you are in a state of life and ability, in a state of being strong and young, hoping for wealth and desiring it, and fearing poverty; as is the nature of people today, they say to you: "Save your white dirham for your black day." He saves his wealth for his old age. So when the young man gathers wealth, he thinks about the future of his life; so he is eager to hold onto this wealth. The generous one is the one who gives this wealth when his soul is attached to it. But when he becomes on the edge of his grave and sits, he remains generous and says: "So much for such-and-such a house, and so much for such-and-such a house." This is the stingy one, and he is not the generous one; because the generous one is the one who gives charity while he is attached to life and while he loves wealth with a great love.
