Hadith 5727

عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَأْكُلُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْبَقَرَةُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will appear people who will consume with their tongues just as a cow grazes from the earth.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This hadith is similar in meaning to Hadith number (5723). Its purport is that just as a cow, while grazing, does not differentiate between dry and fresh, sweet and bitter fodder, but rather consumes all of it indiscriminately, in the same way, some people do not distinguish between lawful (halal) and unlawful (haram), or between truth and falsehood. Nowadays, even sensible and intelligent people have not only come to consider usurious (riba-based) transactions as permissible, but are practically involved in them, while at the same time, in terms of methodology, they regard themselves as being upon the truth and as observant and pious.
