The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on the pulpit and we sat around him. He said, "Among the things I fear for you after I am gone is the worldly bounty and adornment that will be opened up for you."A man asked, "Messenger of Allah, can good bring forth evil?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent toward him. Someone said to the man, "What is the matter with you? You speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he does not answer you?"We then noticed that revelation was descending upon him. When he recovered, he wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Where is the questioner?" It was as though he had praised him. Then he said, "Good does not bring forth evil. Indeed, what the spring growth produces either kills or nearly kills, except for the grazing animal that eats the green herbs. It eats until its flanks are full, then it faces the sun, passes its dung and urine, and then resumes grazing. This wealth is green and sweet, and what an excellent companion it is for the Muslim who gives from it to the poor, the orphan, and the wayfarer," or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. "But whoever takes it without right is like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and it will bear witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."
جلس رسول الله ﷺ على المنبر، وجلسنا حوله، فقال: إن مما أخاف عليكم بعدي، ما يفتح عليكم من زهرة الدنيا وزينتها. فقال رجل: أو يأتي الخير بالشر؟ يا رسول الله! قال: فسكت عنه رسول الله ﷺ. فقيل له: ما شأنك؟ تكلم رسول الله ﷺ ولا يكلمك؟ قال: ورأينا أنه ينزل عليه، فأفاق يمسح عنه الرحضاء، وقال: إن هذا السائل (وكأنه حمده) فقال: إنه لا يأتي الخير بالشر، وإن مما ينبت الربيع يقتل أو يلم إلا أكلة الخضر، فإنها أكلت، حتى إذا امتلأت خاصرتاها استقبلت عين الشمس فثلطت وبالت ثم رتعت، وإن هذا المال خضر حلو، ونعم صاحب المسلم هو لمن أعطى منه المسكين واليتيم وابن السبيل (أو كما قال رسول الله ﷺ) وإنه من يأخذه بغير حقه كان كالذي يأكل ولا يشبع، ويكون عليه شهيدا يوم القيامة.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Zakat (1465), and Muslim in the Book of Zakat (1052: 123), both through the route of Hisham Dastawai, from Yahya bin Abu Kathir, from Hilal bin Abu Maymuna, from Ata bin Yasar, from Abu Saeed Khudri, who mentioned it.
