Hadith 16903

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَكَانَ قَلِيلَ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا خَطَبَ إِلَّا ذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ حُلْوٌ خَضِرٌ ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ ، بَارِكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ فِيهِ ، وَمَنْ يُرِدْ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا ، يُفَقِّهِْهُّ فِي الدِّينِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَدْحَ فَإِنَّهُ الذَّبْحُ " .
Mu'abad Juhani says that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) would very rarely narrate any 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."
