رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 2348. Narrated Abū Hurairah: Once the Prophet ﷺ was narrating (a story), while a bedouin was sitting with him. (saying), "One of the inhabitants of Paradise will ask Allāh to allow him to cultivate the land. Allāh will ask him, 'Are you not living in the pleasures you like?' He will say, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.'" The Prophet ﷺ added, "When the man (will be permitted he) will sow the seeds and the plants will grow up and get ripe, ready for reaping and so on till it will be as huge as mountains within a wink. Allāh will then say to him, 'O son of Adam! Here you are. Take it and gather (the yield); nothing satisfies you.'" On that, the bedouin said, "The man must be either from Quraish (i.e., an emigrant) or an Anṣārī, for they are farmers, whereas we are not farmers." The Prophet ﷺ smiled (at this). (٢١)

2348 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: 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: أَلَسْتَ فِيمَا شِئْتَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَزْرَعَ، قَالَ: فَبَذَرَ، فَبَادَرَ الطَّرْفَ نَبَاتُهُ وَاسْتِوَاؤُهُ وَاسْتِحْصَادُهُ، فَكَانَ أَمْثَالَ الجِبَالِ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: دُونَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُشْبِعُكَ شَيْءٌ "، فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجِدُهُ إِلَّا قُرَشِيًّا، أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ زَرْعٍ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَسْنَا بِأَصْحَابِ زَرْعٍ، فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
