`Amr b. `Auf, who was an ally of Banu `Amir b. Luwayy (and he was one amongst them) who participated in Badr along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) reported that, Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) sent Abu `Ubaida b. Al-Jarrah to Bahrain for collecting Jizya and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had made a truce with the people of Bahrain and had appointed `Ala' b. Hadrami and Abu `Ubaida (for this purpose). They came with wealth from Bahrain and the Ansar heard about the arrival of Abu `Ubaida and they had observed the dawn prayer along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). When Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had finished the prayer, they (the Ansar) came before him and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) smiled as he saw them and then said: I think you have heard about the arrival of Abu `Ubaida with goods from Bahrain. They said: Allah's Messenger, yes, it is so. Thereupon he said: Be happy and be hopeful of that which gives you delight. By Allah, it is not the poverty about which I fear in regard to you but I am afraid in your case that (the worldly) riches way be given to you as were given to those who had gone before you and you begin to vie with one another for them as they vied for them, and these may destroy you as these destroyed them.

  یونس نے ابن شہاب سے ، انھوں نے عروہ بن زبیر سے روایت کی کہ حضرت مسور بن مخرمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے انھیں بتایا کہ عمرو بن عوف جو بنی عامر کے حلیف تھے ، انھوں نے جنگ بدر میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ شرکت کی تھی ، انھیں خبر دی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حضرت ابو عبیدہ بن جراح رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو بحرین بھیجا تاکہ وہاں کا جذیہ لے آئیں ، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بذات خود اہل بحرین سے صلح کی تھی اور علاء بن حضرمی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو ان پر امیر مقرر کیا تھا ، حضرت ابو عبیدہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ بحرین سے مال لے آئے ، انصار نے حضرت ابو عبیدہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کے آنے کی خبر سنی تو وہ سب صبح کی نماز میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس پہنچے ، جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے نماز ادا کرلی ، واپس ہوئے تو وہ ( صحابہ رضوان اللہ عنھم اجمعین ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کےسامنے ہوئے ۔ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جب انھیں دیکھا تو مسکرادیئے ، پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " میرا خیال ہے کہ تم لوگوں نے سن لیا ہے کہ ابو عبیدہ بحرین سے کچھ لے کر آئے ہیں؟انھوں نے کہا : اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم !آپ نے بجا فرمایا ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا؛ " خوش ہوجاؤ اور اس کی اُمید رکھو جس سے تمھیں خوشی ہوگی ۔ اللہ کی قسم! مجھےتم پرفقر کا خوف نہیں ( کہ تمھیں اس سے نقصان پہنچےگا ) لیکن مجھے تم پر اس بات کا خوف ہے کہ دنیا اسی طرح تم پر کشادہ کردی جائے گی جس طرح تم سے پہلے لوگوں پر کشادہ کردی گئی تھی ۔ پھر تم اس میں ایک دوسرے کا مقابلہ کرو گے جس طرح ان لوگوں نے ایک دوسرے کا مقابلہ کیا اور یہ تمھیں بھی تباہ کردےگی جس طرح اس نے ان کو تباہ کردیا تھا ۔ " ؎

`Abdullah b. `Amr b. al-`As reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: How would you be, O people, when Persia and Rome would be conquered for you? `Abd ar-Rahman b `Auf said: We would say as Allah has commanded us and we would express our gratitude to Allah. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Nothing else besides it? You would (in fact) vie with one another, then you would feel jealous, then your relations would be estranged and then you will bear enmity against one another, or something to the same effect. Then you would go to the poor emigrants and would make some the masters of the others.

sahih-muslim-7431

Abu Huraira, narrated that he heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) as saying: There were three persons in Bani Isra'il, one suffering from leprosy, the other bald-headed and the third one blind. Allah decided to test them. So He sent an angel who came to the one who was suffering from leprosy and said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Beautiful colour and fine skin and removal of that which makes me detestable in the eye of people. He wiped him and his illness was no more and he was conferred upon beautiful colour and beautiful skin. He (the angel) again said: Which property do you like most? He said: Camels, or he said: The cow the narrator is, however, doubtful about it, but (out of the persons) suffering from leprosy or baldness one of them definitely said: The camel. And the other one said: Cow. And he (one who demanded camel) was bestowed upon a she-camel, in an advanced stage of pregnancy, and while giving he said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the bald-headed person and said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Beautiful hair and that (this baldness) may be removed from me because of which people hate me. He wiped his body and his illness was removed and he was bestowed upon beautiful hair, and the angel said: Which wealth do you like most? He said: The cow. And he was given a pregnant cow and while handing it over to him he (the angel) said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the blind man and he said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Allah should restore my eyesight so that I should be able to see people with the help of that. He wiped his body and Allah restored to him his eyesight, and he (the angel) also said: Which wealth do you like most? He said: The flock of sheep. And he was given a pregnant goat and that gave birth to young ones and it so happened that one valley abounded in camels and the other one in cows and the third one in sheep. He then came to the one who had suffered from leprosy in his (old) form and shape and he said: I am a poor person and my provision has run short in my journey and there is none to take me to my destination except with the help of Allah and your favour. I beg of you in His name Who gave you fine colour and fine skin, and the camel in the shape of wealth (to confer upon me) a camel which should carry me in my journey. He said: I have many responsibilities to discharge. Thereupon he said: I perceive as if I recognise you. Were you not suffering from leprosy whom people hated and you were a destitute and Allah conferred upon you (wealth)? He said: I have inherited this property from my forefathers. Thereupon he said: If you are a liar may Allah change you to that very position in which you had been. He then came to the one who was bald-headed in his (old) form and said to him the same what he had said to him (one suffering from leprosy) and he gave him the same reply as he had given him and he said: If you are a liar, may Allah turn you to your previous position in which you had been. And then he came to the blind man in his (old) form and shape and he said: I am a destitute person and a wayfarer. My provision have ran short and today there is no way to reach the destination but with the help of Allah and then with your help and I beg of you in the (name) of One Who restored your eyesight and gave you the flock of sheep to give me a sheep by which I should be able to make my provisions for the journey. He said: I was blind and Allah restored to me my eyesight; you take whatever you like and leave whatever you like. By Allah, I shall not stand in your way today for what you take in the name of God. Thereupon, he said: You keep with you what you have (in your possession). The fact is that you three were put to test and Allah is well pleased with you and He is annoyed with your companions.
