A very well known Wali Allah has been quoted in different books. According to him 7 things destroys the wealth of a miser:
- He will die, and his wealth will be used for bad deeds by his children.
- He will either be given in to the custody of a cruel person, who will take all his wealth and degrade him.
- He will spend all his wealth for his never ending needs and wants.
- He will spend his wealth in building big houses.
- He wealth will destroy through natural calamities like flood, storm, fire etc.
- His wealth will be used to treat his own diseases.
- He will bury his wealth to save them, but he will forget it and will die poor.
