[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Abu Bakr and Umar. He said, "So and so has planted a crop, and it has become weak or as he said." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is that? Two light units of prayer (raka'at) are better for you than all of that and everything in this world and whatever is on it. If you were to do what you were commanded, you would have eaten ripe crops and lived contentedly."  

الطبراني:٧٨٤٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ أنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ فَقَالَ زَرَعَ فُلَانُ زَرْعًا فَأَضْعَفَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ رَكْعَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عَلَيْهَا وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ لَأَكَلْتُمْ غُيَرَاءَ زَرْعًا وَلَا أَشْقِيَاءَ»
