\nNarrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:\n \n\nOnce the Prophet (ﷺ) sat on a pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, "The things I am afraid of most \nfor your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world \nand its beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Can the good \nbring forth evil?" The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What is wrong \nwith you? You are talking to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed \nthat he was being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is the \nquestioner?" It seemed as if the Prophet (ﷺ) liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings forth \nevil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kill or make the animals \nsick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then \ndefecates and urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green. Blessed is the \nwealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the \nProphet said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats \nbut is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."\n
