حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ، ، يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، وَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي مَا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ (١) مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ، (٢) فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ؟ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ " وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَأْتِي بِالشَّرِّ، وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ، أَوْ يُلِمُّ حَبَطًا، أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى آكِلَةِ الْخَضِرَةِ أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّتْ (٣) خَاصِرَتَاهَا، وَاسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ، ثُمَّ رَتَعَتْ وَإِنَّ الْمَالَ حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ، وَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى مِنْهُ الْمِسْكِينَ، وَالْيَتِيمَ، وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِنَّ الَّذِي أَخَذَهُ (٤) بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي، ، يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ، فَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (ﷺ) once ascended the pulpit and said to us: "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. We understood that revelation was being sent down upon him, so we said to that man, "What is the matter? You are speaking to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he is not replying to you?" Then, when that state passed, the Prophet (ﷺ) began to wipe his sweat and said, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I am present here, and my intention was only good." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Good always brings about good. However, this world is lush and sweet, and the wild grass that grows in the spring can cause an animal to bloat or die from indigestion. But the animal that grazes on ordinary grass continues to eat, and when its belly is full, it comes into the sun, passes dung and urine, and then returns to eat again. Thus, a Muslim is very good in regard to the rights of the poor, the orphan, and the traveler. But the one who acquires it unjustly is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied, and it will testify against him on the Day of Resurrection."
