716 - أَخْبَرَنَا قَاضِي الْقُضَاةِ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَوَّامِ، أبنا الْقَاضِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ثنا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَجْمِلُوا فِي طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا، فَإِنَّ كَلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقُ لَهُ مِنْهَا»
Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Adopt a good method for acquiring worldly means, for every person’s actions are made easy for that which he was created.”
Brief Explanation
Explanation:
The meaning is that every person's lifespan and sustenance are predetermined; no one will die without having completed the duration of their life and having received their allotted sustenance. Therefore, for the sustenance that Allah Ta'ala has written in your destiny, strive and make efforts while remaining within the boundaries of the Shari'ah, but always give precedence to your Hereafter. Do not become so engrossed in acquiring worldly gains that you lose the distinction between what is lawful (halal) and unlawful (haram), constantly chasing after the world and distancing yourself from the religion. Adhere to moderation and balance, and always keep the Hereafter in mind. If you make a little, limited effort for the world, there is no harm in that, but do not devote your whole heart to it to the extent that you forget the Hereafter altogether.
In a hadith it is stated: "O people! Fear Allah and adopt a good method for acquiring wealth and property. Indeed, no person will die until he has received his complete sustenance, even if there is some delay in its attainment. Therefore, fear Allah and adopt a good method for acquiring wealth. Take what is lawful (halal) and leave what is unlawful (haram)." [ابن ماجه : 3144 ، وقال شخينا على زئي : صحيح]
