[2422] 122 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "What I fear for you the most is that which Allâh will bring forth for you of the splendor of the life of this world." They said: "What is the splendor of the life of this world, O Messenger of Allâh?" He said: "The blessings of the earth." They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, does good produce evil?" He said: "Good produces nothing but good, good produces nothing but good, good produces nothing but good. 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, then it chews its cud and urinates and defecates, then it goes back and eats again. This wealth is fresh and sweet. Whoever acquires it lawfully, and spends it lawfully, what a good help he is, but whoever acquires it unlawfully will be like the one who eats and is never satisfied."

١٢٢ - (١٠٥٢) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ. أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وهب. قال: أخبرني مالك بن أنس عن زيد بن أسلم، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخدري؛ أن رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ " أَخْوَفُ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا " قَالُوا: وَمَا زَهْرَةُ الدُّنْيَا؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قَالَ " بَرَكَاتُ الْأَرْضِ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَهَلْ يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ قَالَ " لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ. لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ. لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ إِلَّا بِالْخَيْرِ. إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَنْبَتَ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ. إِلَّا آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ. فَإِنَّهَا تَأْكُلُ. حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ. ثُمَّ اجْتَرَّتْ وَبَالَتْ وَثَلَطَتْ. ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ. إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ. فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ، فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ. وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يشبع ".
