عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَّخِذُ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّائِمَةَ فَيَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَتَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْهِ سَائِمَتُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ طَلَبْتُ لِسَائِمَتِي مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلَأُ مِنْ هَذَا فَيَتَحَوَّلُ وَلَا يَشْهَدُ إِلَّا الْجُمُعَةَ فَتَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْهِ سَائِمَتُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ طَلَبْتُ لِسَائِمَتِي مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلَأُ مِنْ هَذَا فَيَتَحَوَّلُ فَلَا يَشْهَدُ الْجُمُعَةَ وَلَا الْجَمَاعَةَ فَيُطْبَعُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Haritha bin Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among you, a man keeps grazing livestock and attends the congregational prayer, then his livestock create difficulty for him and he says: If I find a place with more grass for my livestock, so he leaves from there and, due to being far away, attends only the Friday prayer. But even at that place, his livestock cause him hardship, then he says: If I find a place with even more grass than this, so he moves from there as well and becomes so distant that he neither comes for the Friday prayer nor attends the congregation. In such a situation, a seal is set upon his heart.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, it is correct that as wealth increases, a person becomes increasingly distant from goodness; this is the condition of the majority, except for whom Allah wills.
