Abu Said AlKhudri reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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.
