وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَذْرَمِيُّ، ثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ ؓ، يَقُولُ:
لَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَتْ إِبْلِيسَ جُنُودُهُ فَقَالُوا: لَقَدْ بُعِثَ نَبِيٌّ وَأُخْرِجَتْ أُمَّةٌ. فَقَالَ: أَيُحِبُّونَ الدُّنْيَا ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: لَئِنْ كَانُوا يُحِبُّونَهَا مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا يَعْبُدُوا الْأَوْثَانَ، إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَنْفَلِتُوا مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَغْدُو عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَرُوحُ بِثَلَاثٍ: أَخْذِ الْمَالِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، وَإِنْفَاقِهِ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، وَإِمْسَاكِهِ عَنْ حَقِّهِ، وَالشَّرُّ كُلُّهُ لِهَذَا تَبَعٌ

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ was sent, Iblis's troops came to him and said, "A prophet has been sent, and a nation has been brought forth." He said, "Do they love the world?" They said, "Yes." He said, "If they love it, I do not care if they do not worship idols. They will not escape me, for I will come to them morning and evening with three things: taking wealth without right, spending it without right, and withholding it from its right. And all evil follows from this."
