حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ،، ، سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: رَسُولُ (١) اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ (٢) : " إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللهُ مِنْ نَبَاتِ الْأَرْضِ وَزَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: وَغَشِيَهُ بُهْرٌ وَعَرَقٌ، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ " فَقَالَ: هَا أَنَا ذَا (٣) وَلَمْ أُرِدْ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ، إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ، إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ، وَلَكِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، وَكُلُّ (٤) مَا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا، أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةُ الْخَضِرِ، فَإِنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا، وَاسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ، ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ (٥) ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ، وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ " قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَكَانَ الْأَعْمَشُ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ (٦)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) once ascended the pulpit and said: "What I fear most for you is that Allah will bring forth for you the vegetation of the earth and the adornments of the world." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Can good also bring about evil?" The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent until we saw that revelation was being sent down upon him. He began to sweat and became anxious. Then he said, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I am present here, and my intention was only for good." The Prophet (ﷺ) said three times, "Good always brings about good." However, this world is lush and sweet, and the wild grass that grows in the spring causes the animal to bloat and die from indigestion, but the animal that grazes on ordinary grass continues to eat, and when its stomach is full, it comes into the sun and passes dung and urine, then returns and eats again. Similarly, whoever acquires wealth with its due right, there is blessing placed in it for him, and whoever acquires it unjustly, there is no blessing placed in it for him, and he is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied.
