[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet, may ﷺ , who rarely gave a sermon without mentioning this hadith: I heard the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , saying that this wealth is sweet and green. Whoever takes it rightfully, may Allah bless him in it. And whoever Allah wishes good for, He grants him understanding in religion. And beware of excessive praise, for it is like slaughtering."  

أحمد:١٦٩٠٣ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَكَانَ قَلِيلَ الْحَدِيثِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا خَطَبَ إِلَّا ذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ سَمِعْتُرَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ حُلْوٌ خَضِرٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ بَارِكَ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ فِيهِ وَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَدْحَ فَإِنَّهُ الذَّبْحُ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَذْكُرُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِهِنَّ فِي الْجُمَعِ «مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرٌ حُلْوٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّمَادُحَ فَإِنَّهُ الذَّبْحُ»
