Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up and addressed the people thus: O people, by Allah, I do not entertain fear about you in regard to anything else than that which Allah would bring forth for you in the form of adornment of the world. A person said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remained silent for a while and he then said: What did you say? He replied: Messenger of Allah, I said: Does good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: The good does not produce but good, but among the plants the spring rain produces there some which kill with a tremour or nearly kill all but the animal which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its flanks are distended, it faces the can. Then when it has donged or urinated and chewed, it returns and eats. He who accepts wealth rightly, Allah confers blessing on it for him. And he who takes wealth without any right, he is like one who eats and is not satisfied.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had said: The most dreadful thing I fear in your case is what Allah brings forth for you in the form of the adornment of the world. They (the Prophet's Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, what is the adornment of the world? He said: Blessings (the natural resources) of the earth. They (again) said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? He said: No, only good comes out of good. No, only good comes out of good. No. only good comes out of good. All that which the spring rain helps to grow kills or is about to kill but (the animal) which feeds on vegetation. It eats and when its flanks are distended, it faces the sun, it chews the cud, it has dunged and urinated. it returns and eats. This wealth is green and sweet, and he who accepts it and applies it rightly, finds it a good help, but he who takes it wrongfully is like one who eats without being satisfied.

Abu Said al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was sitting on the pulpit and we were sitting around him, and he said: What I am afraid of in regard to you after my death is that there would be opened for you the adornments of the world and its beauties. A person said: Messenger of Allah, does good produce evil? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remained silent. And it was said to him (the man who had asked the question from the Holy Prophet): What Is the matter with you, that you speak with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) but he does not speak with you? We thought as if revelation was descending upon him. He regained himself and wiped the sweat from him and said: He was the inquirer (and his style of expression showed as if he praised him and then added): Verily good does not produce evil. Whatever the spring rainfall causes to grow kills or is about to kill, but that (animal) which feeds on vegetation. It eats till its flanks are filled; it faces the sun and dungs and urinates, and then returns to eat. And this Wealth is a sweet vegetation, and it is a good companion for a Muslim who gives out of it to the needy, to the orphan, to the wayfarer, or something like that as the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who takes it without his right is like one who eats but does not feel satisfied, and it would stand witness against him on the Day of Judgment.
