Home Hadith Hadith 33392
“When the treasures of Persia and
Rome are opened
for you, what kind of people will you be?”
‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf
said: “We will say what Allah has
commanded us to say.” The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Or
something other than that. You will compete
with one another, then
you will envy one another, then you will turn
your backs on one
another, then you will hate one another, or
something like that. Then
you will go to the poor among the Muhajirun
and appoint some of them
as leaders of others.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 71

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up
and
addressed the people saying: ‘No, by Allah, I do not fear for
you, O
people, but I fear the attractions of this world that Allah
brings
forth for you.’ A man said to him: ‘O Messenger of
Allah(ﷺ), does
good bring forth evil?’ The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) remained silent
for a while, then he said: ‘What did you
say?’ He said: ‘I said, does
good bring forth evil?’ The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Good does
not bring forth anything
but good, but is it really good? Everything
that grows on the banks
of a stream may either kill if overeaten or
(at least) make the
animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill of
Khadir* and then
faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates,
chews the cud and
then returns to graze again. Whoever takes wealth in
a lawful manner,
it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes it in
an unlawful
manner, his likeness is that of one who eats and it never
satisfied.’”

‘I think you have
heard that Abu ‘Ubaidah has brought something
from Bahrain?’ They
said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Be of
good cheer
and hope for that which will make you happy. By Allah, I do
not fear
poverty for you, rather I fear that you will enjoy ease and
plenty
like those who came before you, and that you will compete with
one
another as they did, and you will be destroyed as they were.’”
