حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَجْمِلُوا فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا ، فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` Be moderate in seeking worldly things, for everyone will be facilitated for which he was created."
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
To adopt a good method for earning in this world means that you should strive to earn through lawful (halal) means, and do not become so completely engrossed in it that you lose focus on the Hereafter; that is, choose the path of moderation.
➋
The sustenance that is decreed in your destiny will be attained even by adopting lawful (halal) means, so what is the benefit of seeking it through unlawful and forbidden (haram) ways?
