Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 42:269

From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA)

من مسند أبي سعيد الخدري

Hadith 42:269

Zuhayr narrated to us, Yazid bin Harun narrated to us, Hisham al-Dastawa'i informed us, from Yahya bin Abi Kathir, from Hilal bin Abi Maymunah, from 'Ata' bin Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a sermon to us and said: "Indeed, the thing I fear most for you is what Allah will bring forth for you from the adornment of the world and its flower." A man said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, does good bring about evil?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remained silent regarding him, and we thought that revelation was descending upon him. It was said to him: "What is the matter with you? You spoke to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he did not speak to you." Then the state of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cleared, and he began to wipe away the sweat. He said: "Where is the questioner?" We thought that he praised him. He said: "Indeed, good does not bring about evil. And indeed, from what the spring brings forth is what kills or nearly kills by bloating. Have you not seen the eater of green vegetation? It eats until its flanks are full, then it faces the eye of the sun, defecates, urinates, and then grazes again. Indeed, wealth is sweet and green, and it is an excellent companion for the Muslim if he maintains ties of kinship and spends in the way of Allah. And the likeness of the one who takes it without its right is like the one who eats but is not satisfied, and it will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection." Zuhayr said: He said *khabtan* (bloating), and it is *habtan*.

حدثنا زهير حدثنا يزيد بن هارون أخبرنا هشام الدستوائي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن هلال بن أبي ميمونة عن عطاء بن يسار عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال خطبنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال * إن أخوف ما أخاف عليكم ما يخرج الله لكم من زينة الدنيا وزهرتها فقال له رجل يا رسول الله أو يأتي الخير بالشر فسكت عنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرأينا أنه ينزل عليه فقيل له ما شأنك تكلم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا يكلمك فسرى عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجعل يمسح عنه الرحضاء فقال أين السائل فرأينا أنه حمده فقال إن الخير لا يأتي بالشر وإن مما ينبت الربيع يقتل أو يلم حبطا ألم تروا إلى آكلة الخضر أكلت حتى أمتلأت خاصرتاها فاستقبلت عين الشمس فثلطت فبالت ثم رتعت وإن المال حلوة خضرة ونعم صاحب المسلم هو إن وصل الرحم وأنفق في سبيل الله ومثل الذي يأخذه بغير حقه كمثل الذي يأكل ولا يشبع ويكون عليه شهيدا يوم القيامة قال زهير قال خبطا وهو حبطا
