Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 28149a
"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: إِنِّى تَفَضَّلْتُ عَلَى عِبَادِى بِثَلاثٍ: أَلْقَيْتُ الدَّابَّةَ عَلَى الجَنَّةِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَكَنَزَهَا الْمُلُوكُ كَمَا يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ، وَأَلْقَيْتُ النَّتَنَ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ وَلَوْلَا ذَاكَ لَمْ يَدْفِنْ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمَهُ، وَأَذْهَبْتُ الْحُزْنَ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَذَهَبَ النَّسْلُ".

"Allah, the Exalted, says: Indeed I have favored My servants with three: I cast the beast upon Paradise, and were it not for that, kings would hoard it as they hoard gold and silver. I cast decay upon the body, and were it not for that, no close relative would bury his close relative. I removed grief, and were it not for that, offspring would perish."
