حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ أَكْثَرَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ الأَرْضِ». قِيلَ: وَمَا بَرَكَاتُ الأَرْضِ؟ قَالَ: «زَهْرَةُ الدُّنْيَا». فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: هَلْ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَصَمَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْ جَبِينِهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا. قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: لَقَدْ حَمِدْنَاهُ حِينَ طَلَعَ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «لاَ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلاَّ بِالْخَيْرِ. إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، وَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَنْبَتَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ، إِلاَّ آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرَةِ؛ أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ، فَاجْتَرَّتْ وَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ، ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ. وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ حُلْوَةٌ؛ مَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَانَ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلاَ يَشْبَعُ».

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What I fear most for you is what Allah brings forth for you from the blessings of the earth.” It was asked, “What are the blessings of the earth?” He said: “The splendor of this world.” A man asked him, “Can good bring evil?” The Prophet ﷺ remained silent until we thought revelation was descending upon him. He then began wiping his forehead and said: “Where is the questioner?” He replied, “Here I am.” Abu Sa'id said, “We certainly commended him when that became apparent.” He said: “Good brings only good. This wealth is lush and sweet. Everything that the spring causes to grow kills by bloating or nearly does so, except the animal that eats green herbage: it eats until its flanks become extended, then it faces the sun, ruminates, defecates, and urinates, after which it returns and eats again. This wealth is sweet. Whoever takes it rightfully and puts it where it rightfully belongs, it is an excellent aid for him; but whoever takes it without right is like one who eats but is never satisfied.”
