muslim:1052bAbū al-Ṭāhir > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb > Mālik b. Anas > Zayd b. Aslam > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

The most dreadful thing I fear in your case is what Allah brings forth for you in the form of the adornment of the world. They (the Prophet's Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, what is the adornment of the world? He said: Blessings (the natural resources) of the earth. They (again) said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? He said: No, only good comes out of good. No, only good comes out of good. No. only good comes out of good. All that which the spring rain helps to grow kills or is about to kill but (the animal) which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its flanks are distended, it faces the sun, it chews the cud, it has dunged and urinated. it returns and eats. This wealth is green and sweet, and he who accepts it and applies it rightly, finds it a good help, but he who takes it wrongfully is like one who eats without being satisfied.  

مسلم:١٠٥٢bحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَخْوَفُ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا قَالُوا وَمَا زَهْرَةُ الدُّنْيَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَرَكَاتُ الأَرْضِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهَلْ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلاَّ بِالْخَيْرِ لاَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلاَّ بِالْخَيْرِ لاَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلاَّ بِالْخَيْرِ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَنْبَتَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلاَّ آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ فَإِنَّهَا تَأْكُلُ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ ثُمَّ اجْتَرَّتْ وَبَالَتْ وَثَلَطَتْ ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلاَ يَشْبَعُ

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."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet ﷺ kept quiet for a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I (am present)." Abu Saʿid added: We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Good never brings forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied."

muslim:1052aYaḥyá b. Yaḥyá > al-Layth b. Saʿd ḥ

O people, by Allah, I do not entertain fear about you in regard to anything else than that which Allah would bring forth for you in the form of adornment of the world. A person said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a while and he then said: What did you say? He replied: Messenger of Allah, I said: Does good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: The good does not produce but good. but among the plants the spring rain produces There some which kill with a tremour or nearly kill all but the animal which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its flanks are distended, it faces the can. then when it has donged or urinated and chewed it returns and eats. He who accepts wealth rightly, Allah confers blessing on it for him. and he who takes wealth without any right, he is like one who eats and is not satisfied.

It eats till its flanks are filled; it faces the sun and dungs and urinates. and then returns to eat. And this Wealth is a sweet vegetation, and it is a good companion for a Muslim who gives out of it to the needy, to the orphan. to the wayfarer, or something like that as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who takes it without his right is like one who eats but does not feel satisfied, and it would stand witness against him on the Day of judgment.

"The Messenger of Allah sat on the Minbar, and we sat around him. He said: 'What I fear most for you after I am gone is the (worldly) delights that will come to you.' And he spoke of this world and its attractions. A man said: 'Can good bring forth evil? 'The Messenger of Allah remained silent and it was said to him (that man): 'What is the matter with you? You speak to the Messenger of Allah when he does not speak to you? We noticed that he was receiving Revelation. Then he recovered and wiped off his sweat and said: I know what the questioner meant: he means that good never brings forth evil. But some of that which grows in the spring kills the animals or makes them sick, unless they eat Al-Khadir (kind of plant): if they eat their fill or it then turn to face the sun and then defecate and urinate and start to graze again. This wealth is fresh and sweet. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to a Muslim from which he gives to orphans, the poor and wayfarers. The one who takes it unlawfully is like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and who eats but is never satisfied, and it will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."'

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and addressed the people saying: ‘No, by Allah, I do not fear for you, O people, but I fear the attractions of this world that Allah brings forth for you.’ A man said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, does good bring forth evil?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a while, then he said: ‘What did you say?’ He said: ‘I said, does good bring forth evil?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Good does not bring forth anything but good, but is it really good? Everything that grows on the banks of a stream may either kill if overeaten or (at least) make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill of Khadir* and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates, chews the cud and then returns to graze again. Whoever takes wealth in a lawful manner, it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes it in an unlawful manner, his likeness is that of one who eats and it never satisfied.’”

And this Wealth is a sweet vegetation, and it is a good companion for a Muslim who gives out of it to the needy, to the orphan. to the wayfarer, or something like that as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who takes it without his right is like one who eats but does not feel satisfied, and it would stand witness against him on the Day of judgment. (Using translation from Muslim 1052c)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said while he was on the pulpit: "Indeed, the most fearful thing that I fear for you is what Allah will bring forth from the plants of the earth and the flower of the world." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, does good come with evil?" So he remained silent until we saw that he was being covered by dust and sweat. Then he said, "Where is the questioner?" So the man said, "Here I am, and I only intended good." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, good only comes with good. Indeed, good only comes with good. Indeed, good only comes with good. But the world is green and sweet, and everything that the spring produces kills except the green eaters. For they consume until their sides expand and they face the sun, then they become sick and turn yellow. Then they return and eat again. So whoever takes it rightfully, it will be blessed for him. And whoever takes it unlawfully will not be blessed for him, and he will be like one who eats but does not become full." Abdullah said, "My father said, "Sufyan used to ask me about this hadith."

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and addressed the people saying: ‘No, by Allah, I do not fear for you, O people, but I fear the attractions of this world that Allah brings forth for you.’ A man said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, does good bring forth evil?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a while, then he said: ‘What did you say?’ He said: ‘I said, does good bring forth evil?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Good does not bring forth anything but good, but is it really good? Everything that grows on the banks of a stream may either kill if overeaten or (at least) make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill of Khadir* and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates, chews the cud and then returns to graze again. Whoever takes wealth in a lawful manner, it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes it in an unlawful manner, his likeness is that of one who eats and it never satisfied.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3995)

"The Messenger of Allah sat on the Minbar, and we sat around him. He said: 'What I fear most for you after I am gone is the (worldly) delights that will come to you.' And he spoke of this world and its attractions. A man said: 'Can good bring forth evil? 'The Messenger of Allah remained silent and it was said to him (that man): 'What is the matter with you?

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most fearful thing that I fear for you is the growth of the earth or the flowers of the world." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, does good come with evil?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent until we thought that he would receive revelation. Then, he began to sweat and his face turned red. He awoke and asked, "Where is the inquirer?" The man said, "Here I am, seeking nothing but goodness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, good only brings good. Every plant that springs in spring is either a strong poison or a food for grazing animals. Verily, it is their food. When their sides grow weak, they face the sun, and they grow wilted and yellow. Then, they come back to life and I eat them. Then, they overflow with strength and ripen. This wealth is sweet, green, and fruitful. Whoever takes it rightfully will be blessed with it, and whoever takes it unlawfully will not be blessed with it. It is like someone who eats but is never satisfied. The upper hand is better than the lower hand." Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan claimed that Sufyan asked him about this hadith forty years ago.

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying from the pulpit, "The most fearful thing I fear for you is what Allah will bring forth from the earth and the blossom of the world." So, a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, can good come from evil?" The Prophet ﷺ remained silent until we thought he was being revealed to. When the revelation was over, he asked, "Where is the questioner?" The man said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, and I only seek good." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Good only comes with good. However, everything that springs forth in the spring kills, except for green vegetation. It eats until its sides become exposed to the sun, withers away, then comes back and eats again. Then it rises and fattens. Whoever takes money rightfully will be blessed in it and benefited, but whoever takes money unlawfully will not be blessed in it and is like someone who eats but is never satisfied."

جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةٍ وَذَكَرَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ؟ قَالَ وَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ يَمْسَحُ الرُّحَضَاءَ وَقَالَ «أَشَاهِدٌ السَّائِلُ إِنَّهُ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةُ الْخَضِرِ فَإِنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلَأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلْتَ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَثَلَطَتْ ثُمَّ بَالَتْ ثُمَّ رَتَعَتْ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ إِنْ أَعْطَى مِنْهُ الْيَتِيمَ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

"إِنَّ أخوف ما أَخافُ عليكُمْ ما يُخرِجُ اللَّهُ من نباتِ الأَرض وزهرة الدنيا فقال رجل: يا رسول اللَّه أَوَ يأتي الخيرُ بالشَّرِّ؟ فسكت حتى رأَينا أَنه يُنزَلُ عليه قال: وغشيهُ بُهْرٌ وعَرَقٌ فقال: أَين السائل؟ فقال: هأَنذا ولم أُردْ إِلا خَيْرًا، فقال: رسول اللَّه ﷺ إِنّ الخيرَ لا يَأتى إِلا بالخير، ولكن الدنيا خَضِرَةٌ حلوةٌ، وكل ما ينبتُ الربيعُ يقتلُ حَبَطًا أو يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكلةَ الخضراء، فإنها أَكلت حتَّى إِذا امتدت خاصرتاها استقبلت الشمس فثِلطت وبَالَتْ، ثم عادتْ وأَكَلتَ، فمن أَخذها بحقِّ بورك له فيها، ومن أخذها بغير حقها لم يبارك له فيها وكان كالذى يأَكلُ ولا يشبع".

يقال: حَبِطت الدابة إِذا أَكلت المرعى حتى ينتفخ جوفها فتموت، والخضر من النبات الرخص الغض، والمقصود أَن الإِكثار الناشئ من الحرص مهلك، والمحمود التوسط والاعتدال".

"إِنَّما أخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِن بَعْدِى مَا يُفْتحُ عَلَيكُم مِنْ زَهْرَة الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَنِهَا، قَالَ رجُلٌ: أَوَ يَأتِى الخَيْرُ بِالشَّر يَا رَسْولَ اللَّه؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَأتِى الخْيَرُ بِالشَّرِّ، وإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكلَةَ الخَضَر. فَإِنَّها أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ فَثَلَطَت وبَالَت ثُمَّ رَتَعَت وَإنَّ هَذَا المالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ المُسْلِم هُوَ، لِمَنْ أعْطَاهْ المِسكيِنَ، والْيَتيمَ، وابْن السبيل، فَمَنْ أخَذَهُ بَحَقَهِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِى حَقِّه فَنعْمَ المَعُونةُ هُوَ، وَمَنْ أخَذَهُ بَغَيْر حَقَه كَانَ كَالَّذِى جملُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَيَكون عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الَقيَامَة ".

("إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخافُ عليكم من بعدى ما يُفْتَحُ عليكم من زهرةِ الدنيا وزينتها، فقال رجلٌ: يا رسول اللَّه أَوَ يأتى الخير بالشَّرِّ؟ فقال: إنه لا يأتى الخير بالشَّرِّ؟ فقال: إِنّه لا يأتى الخير بالشَّرِّ، وإِنَّ مما يُنْبتُ الربيع حبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَهَ الخضر، فإِنَّها أَكلَتْ حتى إِذا امتلأَت خاصِرَتاها اسْتَقْبَلَتْ عينَ الشمْسِ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالت، ثم رجعته وإِنَّ هذا المالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، فنعم صاحب المسلِمِ ما أَعطى منه المسلمين واليتيمَ وابنَ السبيلِ، وإِنَّ من يَأخذُهُ بغير حقِّهِ كالذى يأكُلُ ولا يَشْبعُ، ويكونُ عليه شهيدًا يومَ القيَامِة".
