وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُقَرِّبُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يُقَرِّبُكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيُبَاعِدُكُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا قَدْ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ الرُّوحَ الْأَمِينَ - وَفِي روايةٍ: وإِن رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ - نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِي أَنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى تَسْتَكْمِلَ رِزْقَهَا أَلَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمُ اسْتِبْطَاءُ الرِّزْقِ أَنْ تَطْلُبُوهُ بِمَعَاصِي اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُدْرَكُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ «. رَوَاهُ فِي» شرح السّنة «وَالْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي» شعب الإِيمان " إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ: «وَإِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ»
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "O people, nothing there is as may bring you nearer to paradise and as may put you further from hell that I have not commanded you. And nothing there is as may bring you nearer to hell and away from paradise that I have not forbidden you.And, Ar-Rooh ul-Amin - or, as per a version, the Rooh ul-Quds - (meaning Jibril عليه السلام) has put into my heart (that is, brought a lighter revelation to me) that a soul does not die till it gets its provision in full. So, fear Allah, adopt moderation in seeking (your provision). And do not be led by delay in receiving your provision to commit acts of disobedience to Allah. For, indeed, that which is with Allah can be had with nothing but obedience to Him." [1]
