Hadith 16837

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ قَلَّمَا يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا ، وَيَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ قَلَّمَا يَدَعُهُنَّ ، أَوْ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِنَّ فِي الْجُمَعِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ يُرِدْ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهُّ فِي الدِّينِ ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ حُلْوٌ خَضِرٌ ، فَمَنْ يَأْخُذْهُ بِحَقِّهِ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّمَادُحَ ، فَإِنَّهُ الذَّبْحُ "
Mu'abad Juhani says that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) would rarely narrate hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he would often mention these words from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in many gatherings: "When Allah intends good for someone, He grants him understanding of the religion. And the wealth of this world is very sweet and lush; so whoever takes it rightfully, there is blessing in it for him. And beware of praising someone to his face, for that is like slaughtering him."
