Ayat 58. And of them are some who accuse you (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms. If they are given part thereof, they are pleased, but if they are not given thereof, behold! They are enraged!
Ayat 59. Would that they were contented with what Allah and His Messenger ( [SAWW](PBUH) gave them and had said: "Allah is Sufficient for us. Allah will give us of His Bounty, and (also) His Messenger (from alms, etc.). We implore Allah (to enrich us)."
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-aas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Successful is the one who enters the fold of Islam and is provided with sustenance which is sufficient for his day's needs, and Allah makes him content with what He has bestowed upon him.''[Muslim Hadith # 2293].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 59. Would that they were contented with what Allah and His Messenger ( [SAWW](PBUH) gave them and had said: "Allah is Sufficient for us. Allah will give us of His Bounty, and (also) His Messenger. We implore Allah (to enrich us)." The real success of a man will be measured by his being blessed with Divine mercy and forgiveness in the Hereafter, and this is contingent on Islam alone. If he lacks the wealth of Islam, all the worldly possessions will not ensure his success in the next world. This Hadith tells us that richness is not to be defined in terms of a lot of belongings, and that the real richness is gauged by the contentment of the soul.
