Once the Prophet ﷺ sat on a pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, "The things I am afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world and its beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet ﷺ remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet ﷺ while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed that he was being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is the questioner?" It seemed as if the Prophet ﷺ liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kill or make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the Prophet said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1465)   

جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ؟ وَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ مَا يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ فَإِنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلَأَتْ خَاصِرَتُهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَبَالَتْ وَثَلَطَتْ وَأَرْتَعَتْ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرٌ حُلْوٌ وَنِعْمَ مَالُ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى مِنْهُ الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ أَوْ كَالَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ الدُّسْتُوَائِيِّ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to face us with his face when he ascended the pulpit or when he sat on the pulpit.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ أَوْ قَالَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ اسْتَقْبَلْنَاهُ بِوُجُوهِنَا  

[Machine] I saw the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it. The sheikh said, "And likewise..."  

رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُونَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be greeted with their faces when he began his sermon until he finished it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] Abu Al-Juwairiyah said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , when the imam starts his sermon on Friday, he faces him with his face until the imam finishes his sermon."  

قَالَ أَبُو الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ خَادِمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ بِوَجْهِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ  

[Machine] When the imam sits on the pulpit on Friday, the people all turn towards him with their faces.  

السُّنَّةُ إِذَا قَعَدَ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ جَمِيعًا  

[Machine] "That Ibn Umar used to complete his prayer on Friday before the Imam would come out. And when the Imam came out, he would not sit down until he faced him."  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَفْرَغُ مِنْ سُبْحَتِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْإِمَامِ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ لَمْ يَقْعُدِ الْإِمَامُ حَتَّى يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ  

[Machine] Our conversation was interrupted and none of us spoke until the imam finished his sermon.  

حَدِيثُنَا فَصَمَتْنَا فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ الْإِمَامُ خُطْبَتَهُ
