The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that if the son of Adam had a valley filled with gold, then he would love to have two valleys of gold out of his greed, which is part of his nature. He will continue to be greedy for worldly possessions until he dies and his mouth and belly are filled with the dirt of his grave.
