He heard al-Mustawrid saying: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'Whoever takes charge of some of our affairs and does not have a wife, let him marry. Or a servant, let him acquire a servant. Or a dwelling, let him acquire a dwelling. Or a riding animal, let him acquire a riding animal. And whoever acquires anything beyond that, he is an embezzler or a thief.'
