Is this narration authentic?
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Richness is not having many belongings, but richness is contentment of the soul”
Answer
Imams Bukhari and Muslim (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). The Hadith is therefore authentic.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
