Miscellaneous by Al-Albani-161

The Shaykh : The hadith that follows it, which is also authentic, and from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The questioner : "Faqtana" or "faqna"? There is a narration with "faqtana."

The Shaykh : "Faqna" means "he satisfied." Also, this hadith confirms the topic that I have been going on about in the previous hadiths. It depicts for us the human being's concern, as a human being, with wealth, which is innate in him, and his greed for it, as our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) indicated in the Qur'an by saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) depicts for us the nature of the human being and the nature of the servant, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) says: He is concerned with his wealth, but what is the amount that he has of his wealth? Does he have all of his wealth? No, he has of his wealth only these forms that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) depicted.
The first form is his saying: meaning he has of his wealth what is necessary for him to live and exist and to fulfill the right of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) for which He created him, namely His tawhid (the oneness of Allah) (Blessed and Exalted is He) and His worship, as He (Mighty and Majestic) said: So he has of his wealth what he ate and consumed, or what he wore and wore out. These are the things that are necessary. In addition to that, he volunteers to do good, which is his saying: meaning he gave charity from his wealth... and satisfied those whom he gave charity to, or gifted them, or bestowed upon them. So up to this point, the wealth that the servant has of his much, much wealth is the amount he eats and the amount he wears, so that he may live and exist. But this is not intended for its own sake; rather, he lives to fulfill the obligation of worshipping Allah, as we said earlier.
The second type of what he has, meaning what benefits him, and not just that he toils to gather it around him, is that he gives to others to satisfy them. He gives from his wealth, and this is not limited to only the obligatory zakah, but it also extends to the non-obligatory zakahs, as we explained that, I believe, in a past lesson.
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the result of what remains after these dispositions of his wealth, and he says: The relationship of this hadith to the one before it: So why do people toil to gather wealth? And this is the reality of wealth: he does not benefit from it except by the amount he eats and drinks and wears, and except by the amount by which he benefits people. Then whatever is beyond that, he leaves it, and it remains for the people who inherit it.
