وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ خَزَائِنُ لِتِلْكَ الْخَزَائِنِ مَفَاتِيحُ فَطُوبَى لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلْخَيْرِ مِغْلَاقًا لِلشَّرِّ وَوَيْلٌ لَعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلشَّرِّ مِغْلَاقًا لِلْخَيْرِ» . رَوَاهُ ابْن مَاجَه
Sahl bin Sa`d Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Those good things (meaning, wealth, etc) are treasures. For these treasures there are keys. Glad tidings for the man whom Allah has made a key for good and a lock for evil. But, woe to the man whom Allah has made a key for evil and a lock for good." [1]
