[2421] 121 - (1052) Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up and addressed the people and said: 'No, by Allâh, I do not fear for you, O people, anything but that which Allâh will bring forth for you of the splendor of the life of this world.' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, does good produce evil?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ remained silent for a moment, then he said: 'What did you say?' He said: 'I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, does good produce evil?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: 'Good does not produce anything but good, or better than it. Everything that grows in the spring may either kill or make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill of greenery; it eats, then when its flanks are stretched, it turns to face the sun and defecates or urinates, then it chews its cud, then it comes back and eats more. Whoever acquires wealth lawfully, it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes wealth unlawfully, he is like the one who eats and is never satisfied."
