The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day in his sermon, "My Lord has commanded me to teach you what you do not know from what He has taught me this day. Every wealth I have granted to a servant is lawful. I created all My servants with an upright nature, but the devils came to them and turned them away from their religion. They forbade them what I had made lawful for them and commanded them to associate with Me that for which I had sent down no authority. Allah looked upon the people of the earth and despised them, both Arabs and non-Arabs, except for some remnants from the People of the Book."He said, "I have sent you only to test you and to test others through you. I have revealed to you a Book that water cannot wash away, which you will recite while asleep and awake. Allah commanded me to burn Quraysh."I said, "My Lord, then they would crush my head as one would crush bread."He said, "Drive them out as they drove you out, fight them and We will support you, spend and We will spend on you, send forth an army and We will send forth five like it, and fight alongside those who obey you against those who disobey you."He said, "The people of Paradise are three. A just ruler who gives charity and is granted success, a merciful man with a tender heart toward every close relative and every Muslim, and a chaste man who refrains from begging despite having a family to support."He said, "The people of the Fire are five. The weak who have no restraint, those among you who are mere followers, seeking neither family nor wealth. The treacherous one whose greed cannot be hidden, no matter how trivial the matter, he will betray it. A man who morning and evening is constantly deceiving you regarding your family and wealth." He also mentioned stinginess or lying, and the foul-mouthed, vulgar person.Abu Ghassan did not mention in his version, "Spend and We will spend on you."
حدثني أبو غسان المسمعي ومحمد بن المثنى ومحمد بن بشار بن عثمان واللفظ لأبي غسان وابن المثنى قالا حدثنا معاذ بن هشام حدثني أبي عن قتادة عن مطرف بن عبد الله بن الشخير
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال ذات يوم في خطبته ألا إن ربي أمرني أن أعلمكم ما جهلتم مما علمني يومي هذا كل مال نحلته عبدا حلال وإني خلقت عبادي حنفاء كلهم وإنهم أتتهم الشياطين فاجتالتهم عن دينهم وحرمت عليهم ما أحللت لهم وأمرتهم أن يشركوا بي ما لم أنزل به سلطانا وإن الله نظر إلى أهل الأرض فمقتهم عربهم وعجمهم إلا بقايا من أهل الكتاب وقال إنما بعثتك لأبتليك وأبتلي بك وأنزلت عليك كتابا لا يغسله الماء تقرؤه نائما ويقظان وإن الله أمرني أن أحرق قريشا فقلت رب إذا يثلغوا رأسي فيدعوه خبزة قال استخرجهم كما استخرجوك واغزهم نغزك وأنفق فسننفق عليك وابعث جيشا نبعث خمسة مثله وقاتل بمن أطاعك من عصاك قال وأهل الجنة ثلاثة ذو سلطان مقسط متصدق موفق ورجل رحيم رقيق القلب لكل ذي قربى ومسلم وعفيف متعفف ذو عيال قال وأهل النار خمسة الضعيف الذي لا زبر له الذين هم فيكم تبعا لا يبتغون أهلا ولا مالا والخائن الذي لا يخفى له طمع وإن دق إلا خانه ورجل لا يصبح ولا يمسي إلا وهو يخادعك عن أهلك ومالك وذكر البخل أو الكذب والشنظير الفحاش ولم يذكر أبو غسان في حديثه وأنفق فسننفق عليك
