Greed for wealth and fame

(166) It is related by K’ab bin Maalik that the Apostle of God said: “No two hungry wolves let loose in a flock of goats can devour the goats so ravenously as the greed of a man for wealth and fame does his faith.”
                                                          -Tirmidhi and Darmi
Commentary.-It tells that the love for wealth, power and fame is more dangerous to faith and piety than a hungry wolf is in the midst of goats.
