IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-529 : TIADA KEBAIKAN BAGI ORANG YANG TIDAK MENGUMPULKAN HARTA
Is it true that the Prophet said whoever does not accumulate wealth has no good in him?
Short answer
This wording is not a saying of the Prophet SAW. It is the statement of a well-known Tabi'i of Madinah, Sa'id bin al-Musayyab, as stated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman and al-Baghawi in Sharh al-Sunnah.

Summary
This wording is not a saying of the Prophet SAW. It is the statement of a well-known Tabi'i of Madinah, Sa'id bin al-Musayyab, as stated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman and al-Baghawi in Sharh al-Sunnah. Ibn al-Jawzi recorded it in al-Mawdu'at, and its chain includes a narrator, al-'Ala bin Maslamah, who was criticised by hadith scholars. It must therefore not be attributed to the Prophet SAW, as doing so may amount to lying about him.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tidak boleh sama sekali menisbahkan ucapan tersebut kepada Nabi SAW. Bahkan ia boleh membawa kepada pendustaan ke atas Nabi SAW.
