أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ أَخُوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ مِنْ زِينَةِ الدُّنِيَا وَزَهْرَتِهَا " ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلا يُكَلِّمُكَ ؟ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ ، وَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ ؟ " وَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لا يَأْتِي بِالشَّرِّ ، وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ حَبَطًا ، أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى آكِلَةِ الْخَضِرِ ، أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى امْتَلأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا ، اسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ ، فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ ، ثُمَّ رَتَعَتْ ، وَإِنَّ الْمَالَ حُلُوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ ، وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ إِنْ وَصَلَ الرَّحِمَ ، وَأَنْفَقَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهُ ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْبَعُ ، وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us in a sermon and said: What I fear most for you is that Allah the Exalted will reveal the adornment and beauty of the world to you. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Will good bring evil?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. We sensed that revelation was being sent down to him. It was said to that man: "What is the reason that you made a request to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he did not speak to you?" Then, when that state of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ended, he wiped the sweat from his face and asked: "Who is the questioner?" From this, we understood that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Good will not bring evil, but what grows in the spring sometimes kills and sometimes fattens. Have you not seen that the animal that eats green grass eats until its belly swells, then it goes out into the sun, defecates and urinates, and then walks away? Indeed, wealth is sweet and lush, and the best companion for a Muslim is that he maintains family ties and spends it in the way of Allah. And whoever acquires it unjustly, his example is like that of a person who eats but is never satisfied, and this (wealth) will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."
