وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِى اللَّفْظِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِىِّ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىَّ يَقُولُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ « لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِلاَّ مَا يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا ». فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَأْتِى الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ « كَيْفَ قُلْتَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَأْتِى الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ لاَ يَأْتِى إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ أَوَ خَيْرٌ هُوَ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلاَّ آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلأَتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ ثَلَطَتْ أَوْ بَالَتْ ثُمَّ اجْتَرَّتْ فَعَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ فَمَنْ يَأْخُذْ مَالاً بِحَقِّهِ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ وَمَنْ يَأْخُذْ مَالاً بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِى يَأْكُلُ وَلاَ يَشْبَعُ ».

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (SAW) stood up and addressed the people and said: ‘No, by Allah, I do not fear for you, O people, anything but that which Allah will bring forth for you of splendor of the life of this world.’ A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW) does good produce evil?’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) remained silent for a moment, then he said: ‘What did you say?’ He said: ‘I said: O Messenger of Allah (SAW) does good produce evil?’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to him: ‘Good does not produce anything but good, or better than it. Every thing 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.’’’
