Hadith 30:3511

'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Amr narrated to us, Fulayh narrated to us, from Hilal ibn 'Ali, from 'Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said one day while he was speaking and a man from the people of the desert was with him: "A man from the people of Paradise asked his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, for permission to farm. His Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, said to him: 'Are you not in what you wish?' He said: 'Yes, but I love to farm.' He said: So he sowed, and his growth, his maturity, and his harvesting happened in the blink of an eye, and it was like mountains." He said: "Then his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, says to him: 'Take it, O son of Adam, for nothing satisfies you.'" He said: The Bedouin said: "By Allah, you will not find him except as a Qurayshi or an Ansari, for they are people of farming, whereas we are not people of it." He said: So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, laughed.

حدثنا عبد الملك بن عمرو، حدثنا فليح، عن هلال بن علي، عن عطاء بن يسار، عن أبي هريرة، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: يوما وهو يحدث وعنده رجل من أهل البادية: " إن رجلا من أهل الجنة استأذن ربه عز وجل في الزرع، فقال له ربه عز وجل: ألست فيما شئت؟ قال: بلى، ولكن أحب أن أزرع. قال: فبذر فبادر الطرف نباته واستواؤه واستحصاده، فكان أمثال الجبال، قال: فيقول له ربه عز وجل: دونك يا ابن آدم، فإنه لا يشبعك شيء " قال: فقال الأعرابي: والله لا تجده إلا قرشيا أو أنصاريا، فإنهم أصحاب زرع وأما نحن، فلسنا بأصحابه. قال: فضحك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
