[Machine] I heard al-Hasan say, "By Allah, if Allah grants someone from among the people the worldly possessions, and he does not fear being deceived by them, then this person's knowledge will be diminished, and his insight will be weakened. And if Allah withholds something from a servant and he does not believe that it is good for him, then his knowledge will be diminished and his insight will be weakened."  

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ «وَاللَّهِ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ بَسَطَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ دُنْيَا فَلَمْ يَخَفْ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ مُكِرَ بِهِ فِيهَا إِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ نَقَصَ عِلْمُهُ وَعَجَزَ رَأْيُهُ وَمَا أَمْسَكَهَا اللَّهُ ﷻ عَنْ عَبْدٍ فَلَمْ يَظُنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ خِيرَ لَهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ نَقَصَ عِلْمُهُ وَعَجَزَ رَأْيُهُ»
