Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4383 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَزِيرِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ : نَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ السَّفَرِ قَالَ : نَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْكِنَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَشَرَ اللهُ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَكْثَرَ لَهُمَا الْمَالَ وَالْوَلَدَ ، فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمَا : أَيْ فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ قَالَ : لَبَّيْكَ رَبِّ وَسَعْدَيْكَ فَقَالَ : أَلَمْ أُكْثِرْ لَكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، أَيْ رَبِّ ، قَالَ : وَكَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ فِيمَا آتَيْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ : تَرَكْتُهُ لِوَلَدِي مَخَافَةَ الْعَيْلَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ تَعْلَمُ الْعِلْمَ لَضَحِكْتَ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتَ كَثِيرًا ، أَمَا إِنَّ الَّذِي تَخَوَّفْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ بِهِمْ . وَيَقُولُ لِلْآخَرِ : أَيْ فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ فَيَقُولُ : لَبَّيْكَ أَيْ رَبِّ وَسَعْدَيْكَ . قَالَ لَهُ : أَلَمْ أُكْثِرْ لَكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، أَيْ رَبِّ . قَالَ : فَكَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ فِيمَا آتَيْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَنْفَقْتُ فِي طَاعَتِكَ ، وَوَثَّقْتُ لِوَلَدِي مِنْ بَعْدِي بِحُسْنِ طَوْلِكَ . قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ تَعْلَمُ الْعِلْمَ لَضَحِكْتَ كَثِيرًا وَلَبَكَيْتَ قَلِيلًا ، أَمَا إِنَّ الَّذِي وَثَّقْتَ لَهُمْ بِهِ قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ بِهِمْ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ إِلَّا يُوسُفُ بْنُ السَّفَرِ ، وَلَا يُرْوَى عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ I " .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will bring forth (on the Plain of Gathering) two of His servants to whom He had given abundant wealth and children. He will say to one of them: 'O so-and-so, son of so-and-so!' He will say: 'Labbayka Rabbi wa sa'dayk' (Here I am, my Lord, wholly ready to obey You).
Allah Almighty will say: 'Did I not give you abundant wealth and children?' He will say: 'Yes indeed, O my Lord!' Allah Almighty will say: 'Then what did you do with what I gave you?' He will say: 'I left it behind for my children, fearing that they would fall into poverty.'
Allah Almighty will say: 'Know that if you knew the reality of the matter, you would surely laugh little and weep much. Listen! The poverty that you feared for them, I have sent down upon them.'
Then Allah Almighty will say to the other servant: 'O so-and-so, son of so-and-so!' He will say: 'Labbayka ay Rabbi wa sa'dayk' (Here I am, O my Lord, ready to carry out Your command).
Allah Almighty will say: 'Did I not give you much wealth and many children?' He will say: 'Yes indeed, O my Lord!' Allah Almighty will say: 'Then what did you do with what I gave you?' He will say: 'I spent it in obedience to You, and for my children after me I relied on Your excellent bounty and favour.'
Allah Almighty will say: 'Know that if you knew the reality of the matter, you would surely laugh much and weep little. Remember! That (bounty and favour) on which you relied for them, I have provided for them.'"
Only Yusuf bin al-Safar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Imam al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him), and it is narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) only with this chain.
