Narrated by Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him):

 

The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) once asked the Companions: “Who amongst you loves the property of his inheritors more than his own property?"

 

They replied: “O Messenger of Allah! All of us love our own property more than we love the property of our inheritors.”

 

So the Prophet (SAW) replied, “You must know this: A persons property is only that which he sent forth in this life, and the property of his inheritors is what he left behind.”

 

(Bukhari, Rikâk 12)
