عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَبَاتِ الْأَرْضِ وَزَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَغَشِيَهُ بُهْرٌ وَعَرَقَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ فَقَالَ هَا أَنَا وَلَمْ أُرِدْ إِلَّا خَيْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ وَلَكِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَكُلُّ مَا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ فَإِنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا وَاسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهَا وَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْإِمَامِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ أَبِي قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَكَانَ الْأَعْمَشُ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said from the pulpit: Indeed, what I fear most for you is that which Allah will bring forth for you from the earth in the form of its grapes and the wealth and luxuries of the world. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Does good also bring evil? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent until we saw that revelation began to descend upon him, his breath became heavy, and he began to sweat profusely. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Where is the questioner? He said: Here I am, and my intention was only good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, good only brings good, indeed, good only brings good, indeed, good only brings good. The real matter is that this world is lush and sweet. Whatever the spring grows, due to the swelling of the belly, it either kills or brings close to killing. An animal keeps eating fodder until its stomachs are filled, then it lies down in the sun and passes thin dung and urine, and then starts eating again. The point is, whoever acquires the world with its due right, there will be blessing in it for him, and whoever takes it without right, there will be no blessing in it for him; rather, he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In the spring season, many fresh shoots (anguriyan) grow, and the animal that grazes according to its need will benefit from these shoots. However, the animal that eats more than its need will fall ill, and eventually will die or come close to dying. The same is the case with worldly wealth and riches: the person who acquires it according to his need will benefit greatly from it, but the one who, out of greed, pursues it excessively and does not observe the Shar‘i (Islamic legal) limits in its acquisition, for him it will prove to be harmful.
