hadith 918
The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'When people are miserly with their dinars and their dirhams [i.e. their wealth] and conclude bargains only upon sampling, and are too busy running after their livestock, and abandon fighting in the way of Allah (jihad), Allah brings down such disgrace upon them that can never be revoked until they turn back to their religion.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إذا ضَنَّ الناسُ بالدِّينارِ والدِّرهَمِ وتَبايَعُوا بالعِينَةِ وتَبِعُوا أذنابَ البَقَرِ وتَرَكُوا الجِهادَ في سبيلِ اللّهِ ، أدخَلَ اللّهُ علَيهِم ذُلاًّ لا يَرفَعُهُ عَنهُم حتّى يُراجِعُوا دِينَهُم.
