حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى اللَّيْثِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ , عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ خَطِيبًا , فَكَانَ فِيمَا قَالَ : " إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ , وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا , فَنَاظِرٌ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ , أَلَا فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا , وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up to deliver a sermon and one of the things that he said was:` “This world is fresh and sweet, and Allah will make your successive generations therein, so look at what you do and beware of (the temptations of) this world and beware of (the temptations of) women.”

Brief Explanation
1؎: Take interest in both of these things only as much as is necessary. Furthermore, in accordance with this hadith, Allah Ta'ala granted the Muslims much of the world and made them rulers over the East and the West, and their rule remained established for a long time. When they too, like the people before them, adopted excess, injustice, and deviation, then it was taken away from them. Nowadays, it is the flourishing time of the Christians; they are receiving the rule and wealth of the entire world. Now it remains to be seen how long their appointed term will last.

Explanation:
1:
That is, He will make you the inheritors and successors of the previous nations.
This does not mean that man is the vicegerent or deputy of Allah; this is an incorrect notion.

2:
That is, desire from the world only as much as is beneficial and helpful for your religious affairs,
and be wary of the cunning and deceitfulness of women.
3:
Many benefits are derived from this hadith:
(1)
Standing while delivering admonition and advice is Sunnah.
(2)

(3)
Fear of people should not prevent one from expressing the truth.
(4)
There is a need to be cautious regarding the world and women.
(5)
Breaking a covenant will be a cause of disgrace on the Day of Resurrection.
(6)

(8)
How should transactions involving debt be conducted?
(9)
What should a person do in a state of anger?
(10)

but there are authentic witnesses for several portions of this hadith.
