Sufficient conveyance and servant

Hadrat Abu Hashim bin Utbah R.A. says that Rasulullah g advised me by saying, from all the wealth of the world a single servant, and to go out in the path of Allah c a single conveyance is sufficient.

عهد إلي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إنما يكفيك من جميع المال خادم ومركب في سبيل الله رواه احمد

Hadrat Abu Hashim bin Utbah R.A. says that Rasulullah g advised me by saying, from all the wealth of the world a single servant, and to go out in the path of Allah c a single conveyance is sufficient.

How didn’t Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam take into consideration the rights of our Dunya and Aakhirat in this Hadith. (O my Rabb, sent blessings and salutations continuously upon your beloved, who is the best of all your creation.) He has permitted us to have a servant and conveyance so that one is able to go out in Jihaad, Haj and to acquire the knowledge of Deen with ease. This must be according to our need which teaches us to be content with our possessions.
