عن عمرو بن عوف الأنصاري، رضي الله عنه

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، بعث أبا عبيدة بن الجراح، رضي الله عنه، إلى البحرين يأتي بجزيتها، فقدم بمال من البحرين، فسمعت الأنصار بقدوم أبو عبيدة، فوافوا صلاة الفجر مع رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، انصرف فتعرضوا له، فتبسم رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم حين رآهم، ثم قال: «أظنكم سمعتم أن أبا عبيدة قدم بشئ من البحرين؟»

فقالوا: أجل يا رسول الله فقال: «أبشروا وأملوا ما يسركم، فوالله ما الفقر أخشى عليكم، ولكني أخشى أن تبسط الدنيا عليكم كما بسطت على من كان قبلكم، فتنافسوها كما تنافسوها، فتهلككم كما أهلكتهم»

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah (radiyallahu anhu) to Bahrain to collect (Jizyah). So he returned from Bahrain with wealth. The Ansar got news of it and joined with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the Fajr prayer. When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) concluded the prayer, they stood in his way.

When he saw them, he smiled and said, “I think you have heard about the arrival of Abu Ubaidah with something from Bahrain”. They said, “Yes! O Messenger of Allah!”.

He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Rejoice and hope for that which will please you. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, but I fear that this world will be opened up with its wealth for you as it was opened to those before you; and you vie with one another over it as they did and eventually it will ruin you as it ruined them”.
