If there is gold equivalent to the Uhud mountain, even then…

It is narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, I would like to have nothing of it remaining with me for more than three nights (i.e. I will spend all of it).

Our Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not want to keep gold even if it is in an amount equal to the Uhud mountain. On the other hand, we claim to be the devotees of the Beloved Prophet but do not get rid of our desire of wealth accumulation.
