As-Salam alaykum wa rahmatullah,
This short speech by Bro.Yusuf Estes is from an amazing hadith. Subhanallah. Listen and ponder over it.
Third Loaf of bread
And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are Al Muttaqun (the pious). Will you not then understand?
Surah Al An’am :32
Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.
Surah Al Hadid :20

A man accompanied Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) the son of Maryam (Mary) and said that he would go with him. They continued along until they came to a river. They sat and started to eat. They had three loaves of bread. They ate two of them and one remained.
Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) went to the river, drank some water and returned. Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) did not find the third loaf, so he asked the man who had taken that loaf. The man said that he did not know.
They continued until they came to a doe followed by two fawns. Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) beckoned one of the fawns, killed it, roasted it and they ate it. Then Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) addressed the fawn [that had been eaten,] saying, "Live!" It came to life and went. Then Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) said to the man, "By the God Who has shown you this miracle, who took that loaf of bread?" The man said that he did not know.
They continued until they reached a lake. Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) took the hand of the man and led him over the water. When they reached the other side, Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) said, "By the One Who has shown you this miracle, who took that loaf of bread?" The man said that he did not know.
They continued until they reached a desert. They sat down. Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) gathered some sand or dust and said, "By the permission of Allah (SWT), be Gold!" It became Gold. He divided it into three portions.
Then Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) said, "One third is for me, one third for you, and one third for whoever took that loaf of bread."
The man said, "Alright, I took that loaf of bread."
Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) said, "Then all of this Gold is yours." Then he left him.
The man encountered two other men in the desert. They wanted to take his Gold and kill him. He said, "Let us divide the Gold into three portions." They sent one of them to the village to buy food.
The one who went said to himself, "Why should I let them have portions of this wealth? I shall put some poison into the food, and kill them." So, he poisoned the food.
The other two said, "Why should we give a third of this wealth to him. When he comes back, let us kill him, and divide the rest of the wealth between us."
When he returned, they attacked him and killed him. Then they ate the poisoned food and died. The wealth remained in the desert with the three dead men beside it.
Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace upon him) passed them and saw the situation. He said to his disciples, "This is the world, so beware of it!"

Prophet ^Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, is an honorable Prophet. At his time, the people wanted to accompany him because of the blessings and to take advantage of the goodness that he had. One day, Prophet Jesus was walking with a man. They reached a riverbank. They sat to eat some bread as they had three loaves of bread with them. They ate two and one loaf was left. Prophet Jesus got up to drink water and when he returned he found the third and last loaf of bread missing. Prophet Jesus asked the man who was with him about the loaf. The man said he did not know anything about it.
So they set out walking again. They reached the edge of the forest. They saw a deer with her two baby fawns. Prophet Jesus pointed to one of the fawns and it came running towards him. He slaughtered it then cooked it. They ate from it. When they were finished Prophet Jesus collected the bones and said, ''Get up by the will of Allah.'' The fawn came back to life by the will of Allah just as it had been before and went back to its mother.
Prophet Jesus turned to the man and said, ''I ask you by Allah, the One who enabled you to see this miracle, who took the third loaf of bread?'' The man again replied, ''I don't know.'' The man and Prophet Jesus started walking again. When they reached a deserted area they sat down. Prophet Jesus gathered some soil in his honorable hands. He said, ''By the will of Allah turn into gold.'' And sure enough the soil became gold.
Prophet Jesus divided the gold into three parts. He said to the man, "One third is mine, one third is yours, and the other third is for the man who took the loaf of bread."
The man's eyes gleamed and he said, "I took the other loaf of bread."
Prophet Jesus said, "Take all the gold, it is all yours." And then Prophet Jesus walked away. The man sat there delighted with the riches he acquired.
Within a few minutes, two thieves appeared. They wanted to kill the man and take away his gold. The man said, "Why should you kill me? Let us split the gold between the three of us." The thieves agreed. Since they were hungry, they decided to send one of them to get food from the village.
On the way to get the food, the man thought to himself, "Why should I split the money with the other two?" The devil then whispered to him an evil plot. When he got the food he put some poison in it. He thought, "When the other two men eat from the food they will die. That way I can take all the gold for myself." At the same time he was coming up with his plan, the other two men decided that they would kill him when he came back. That way they would only have to split the gold between the two of them.
When the man returned with the food, the other two men were waiting for him. They killed him. He fell to the ground, dead. The two men started eating the food that he had brought and since it was poisoned, they also died. Three dead bodies were left lying around a pile of gold.
Prophet Jesus and a group of his companions passed by this strange sight and Allah gave Prophet Jesus the knowledge of what happened. He warned his companions saying, "This is what happens to those who want worldly matters, so beware."
