The Sweetness of Life and Trials of Generations

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the life of this world being sweet and green, and how Allah tests us through generations. It also warns against the beguilement of the world and women.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "The life of the world is sweet and green. Allah makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilement of the world and those of women. The first trial of Banu Israel was through women". Muslim.
