Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2317

" إنما أخاف عليكم من بعدي ما يفتح عليكم من زهرة الدنيا وزينتها إنه لا يأتي الخير بالشر إن مما ينبت الربيع يقتل حبطا أو يلم إلا آكلة الخضر فإنها أكلت حتى إذا امتلأت خاصرتاها استقبلت الشمس فثلطت وبالت ثم رتعت وإن هذا المال خضرة حلوة ونعم صاحب المسلم هو لمن أعطاه المسكين واليتيم وابن السبيل فمن أخذه بحقه ووضعه في حقه فنعم المعونة هو ومن أخذه ¤ بغير حقه كان كالذي يأكل ولا يشبع ويكون عليه شهيدا يوم القيامة"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"What I fear most for you after me is that the splendour of the world and its glitter will be opened up to you (and you will fall into love of it). Indeed, good does not bring evil. Indeed, among what the spring season grows (fresh grass) there is some that kills (the animal) by bloating its belly or brings it close to death, except for the animal that eats greenery, until when both its flanks are full, it turns to face the sun, then it passes dung, urinates, and then starts grazing again. And indeed this wealth is green and sweet. How excellent a companion that wealth is for a Muslim who gives it to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer. So whoever takes this (wealth) by its right (that is, in a lawful way) and spends it in its right (proper place), then it is an excellent helper. And whoever acquires it without right (in an unlawful way), he is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied, and it (the wealth) will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."
