Hadith 33:1475

'Affan narrated to us, he said: Zurayt ibn Abi Zurayt narrated to us, he said: I heard al-Hasan saying: "O son of Adam, you are looking at your deeds, both their good and their evil. Do not belittle anything of good, even if it is small, for when you see it, its place will please you. And do not belittle anything of evil, for when you see it, its place will distress you. May Allah have mercy on a servant who earns lawfully, spends moderately, and directs surplus wealth. Direct these surpluses where Allah has directed them, and place them where Allah has commanded them to be placed. For those who came before you used to ransom themselves with their surplus wealth for the sake of Allah. Indeed, this death has harmed the world and exposed it. By Allah, no person of intellect has found joy in it since."

حدثنا عفان قال حدثنا زريط بن أبي زريط قال سمعت الحسن وهو يقول يا بن آدم إنك ناظر إلى عملك فزد خيره وشره ولا تحقر شيئا من الخير وإن هو صغر فانك إذا رأيته سرك مكانه ولا تحقر شيئا من الشر فإنك إذا رأيته ساءك مكانه رحم الله عبدا كسب طيبا وأنفق قصدا ووجه فضلا وجهوا هذه الفضول حيث وجهها الله وضعوها حيث أمر بها الله أن توضع فإن من قبلكم كانوا يشترون أنفسهم بالفضل من الله وإن هذا الموت قد أضر بالدنيا ففضحها فوالله ما وجد بعد ذو لب فرحا
