✧ Hamza with Nun
"إِنَّ أخوف ما أَخافُ عليكُمْ ما يُخرِجُ اللَّهُ من نباتِ الأَرض وزهرة الدنيا فقال رجل: يا رسول اللَّه أَوَ يأتي الخيرُ بالشَّرِّ؟ فسكت حتى رأَينا أَنه يُنزَلُ عليه قال: وغشيهُ بُهْرٌ وعَرَقٌ فقال: أَين السائل؟ فقال: هأَنذا ولم أُردْ إِلا خَيْرًا، فقال: رسول اللَّه ﷺ إِنّ الخيرَ لا يَأتى إِلا بالخير، ولكن الدنيا خَضِرَةٌ حلوةٌ، وكل ما ينبتُ الربيعُ يقتلُ حَبَطًا أو يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكلةَ الخضراء، فإنها أَكلت حتَّى إِذا امتدت خاصرتاها استقبلت الشمس فثِلطت وبَالَتْ، ثم عادتْ وأَكَلتَ، فمن أَخذها بحقِّ بورك له فيها، ومن أخذها بغير حقها لم يبارك له فيها وكان كالذى يأَكلُ ولا يشبع". يقال: حَبِطت الدابة إِذا أَكلت المرعى حتى ينتفخ جوفها فتموت، والخضر من النبات الرخص الغض، والمقصود أَن الإِكثار الناشئ من الحرص مهلك، والمحمود التوسط والاعتدال".

"Indeed what I fear most for you is what Allah brings forth from the plants of the earth and the splendor of the world." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, does good bring evil?" He remained silent until we thought that revelation was being sent down to him. Then he wiped his face and said: "Where is the questioner?" He said: "Here I am, and I only intended good." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed good does not bring anything but good. But the world is green and sweet, and whatever the spring plants grow kills by bloating or sickens, except the eating animal of the greens, which eats until its flanks become distended, then it faces the sun, releases its dung and urine, then returns and eats again. Whoever takes it with its rightful due, it will be blessed for him; and whoever takes it without its rightful due, it will not be blessed for him, and he will be like one who eats and is never satisfied." It is said: 'Habitat the animal' when it eats the pasture until its belly swells and it dies. The 'khadir' of plants is the tender, fresh kind. The meaning is that excessive accumulation arising from greed is destructive, and what is praised is moderation and balance."
