Arabic text

عن كعب بن عياض رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إن لكل أُمَّة فتنة، وفِتنة أُمَّتي: المال».

Translation

Ka‘b ibn ‘Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Every Ummah has a trial, and the trial of my Ummah is wealth."

Explanation

Ka‘b ibn ‘Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Every Ummah has a trial, and the trial of my Ummah is wealth." This is a test for people, as wealth distracts one away from acts of worship and makes one forget the Hereafter.
