7519. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Once the Prophet ﷺ was preaching while a bedouin was sitting there. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man from among the people of Paradise will request Allāh to allow him to cultivate the land. Allāh will say to him, 'Haven't you got whatever you desire?' He will reply, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.' (Allāh will permit him and) he will sow the seeds, and within seconds the plants will grow and ripen and (the yield) will be harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that Allāh will say (to him), 'Take, here you are, O son of Ādam, for nothing satisfies you.' " On that the bedouin said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Such man must be either from Quraish or from Anṣār, for they are farmers while we are not." On that Allāh's Messenger ☼ smiled.

7519 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَوْمًا يُحَدِّثُ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ البَادِيَةِ: " أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ فِي الزَّرْعِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَوَلَسْتَ فِيمَا شِئْتَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَزْرَعَ، فَأَسْرَعَ وَبَذَرَ، فَتَبَادَرَ الطَّرْفَ نَبَاتُهُ وَاسْتِوَاؤُهُ وَاسْتِحْصَادُهُ وَتَكْوِيرُهُ أَمْثَالَ الجِبَالِ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: دُونَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُشْبِعُكَ شَيْءٌ "، فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لاَ تَجِدُ هَذَا إِلَّا قُرَشِيًّا أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ زَرْعٍ، فَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَسْنَا بِأَصْحَابِ زَرْعٍ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
