مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1242 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ زِينَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزَهْرَتِهَا . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : مَا شَأْنُكَ ، تُكَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ ؟ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : « أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ » ؟ فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي بِالشَّرِّ ، وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ - أَوْ يُلِمُّ - حَبَطًا ، أَلَمْ تَرَوْا إِلَى آكِلَةِ الْخَضِرِ أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَثَلَطَتْ فَبَالَتْ ، ثُمَّ رَتَعَتْ ؟ وَإِنَّ الْمَالَ حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ ، وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ إِنْ وَصَلَ الرَّحِمَ ، وَأَنْفَقَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ . وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ ، وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .
قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : قَالَ : خَبَطًا ، وَهُوَ حَبَطًا .
قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : قَالَ : خَبَطًا ، وَهُوَ حَبَطًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us in a sermon and said: "What I fear most for you is the adornment and splendour of this world that Allah will bring forth for you." A man said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Can good ever bring about evil?" the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, and we thought that revelation was being sent down upon him. It was said to that man: "What is the matter with you? You speak to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he does not speak to you?" Then that state passed from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he began wiping the sweat from his blessed face and asked: "Where is the questioner?" We sensed that he approved of his question. Then he said: "Good never brings about evil. Indeed, some of the fodder that the spring season grows kills (the animal) by bloating its belly from overeating, or brings it close to death. Have you not seen the animal that grazes on green pasture? It eats until, when its flanks are full, it sits facing the light of the sun, then it passes dung and urinates and then starts grazing again. Indeed this wealth is very sweet and green, and it is an excellent companion for the Muslim provided that he uses it to join ties of kinship and spends it in the path of Allah. And the example of one who acquires it unrightfully is like one who eats but is never satisfied, and this wealth will come as a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection." Imam Zuhayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the word in the hadith was said as "khabtan", whereas it is actually "habatan" (that is, the illness of the belly swelling from overeating).
