وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَرضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا حَلَالًا اسْتِعْفَافًا عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَسَعْيًا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَعَطُّفًا عَلَى جَارِهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَوَجْهُهُ مِثْلُ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ. وَمَنْ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا حَلَالًا مُكَاثِرًا مفاخرا مرائيا لَقِي الله وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ» وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فِي «الْحِلْية»
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who earns worldly possessions in a lawful way aiming, thereby to preserve himself from begging, to support his family and to maintain kind relationship with his neighbour, will meet Allah, the glorious on the day of resurrection, with his face (bright and happy) like the moon on the night when it is full. As for him who earns worldly possessions in a lawful way and amasses much, being arrogant about it, demonstrating to dictate other people he will meet Allah, the Glorious while He is angry on this man." [2]
