What is the best form of wealth after cows?’ The Prophet (MGB) replied, ‘Tall palm trees which are deeply rooted in the ground. Whoever sells these trees, what he gets in return is as the dust on top of the mountain which would scatter around with the slightest wind: unless he buys another palm field instead.’ He (MGB) was asked, ‘O Prophet of God! What is the best form of wealth after date palms?’ The Prophet (MGB) remained silent. A man asked, ‘How about camels?’ The Prophet (MGB) said, ‘Owning camels involves a lot of misery, hardship, and exertion. You must take it far away in the morning and night. It lives in the desert. It has no use except for its unfortunate owners to worry that it may be harmed.’”
