Sahih Muslim 2962 (Book 55, Hadith 11) #14531
Gratitude in Times of Success

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how people should act when they are blessed with success and prosperity, and the consequences of not doing so.

'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported that Allah's Messenger 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 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.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْعَامِرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ، الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ بَكْرَ بْنَ سَوَادَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ - هُوَ أَبُو فِرَاسٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ - حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ أَىُّ قَوْمٍ أَنْتُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ نَقُولُ كَمَا أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ تَتَنَافَسُونَ ثُمَّ تَتَحَاسَدُونَ ثُمَّ تَتَدَابَرُونَ ثُمَّ تَتَبَاغَضُونَ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَنْطَلِقُونَ فِي مَسَاكِينِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَتَجْعَلُونَ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى رِقَابِ بَعْضٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of expressing gratitude to Allah when one is blessed with success and prosperity, as well as the consequences of not doing so. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warns us that if we do not express our gratitude for our blessings, we will become jealous of each other, our relationships will be strained, and animosity will arise between us. We should also remember to help those who are less fortunate than us by providing them with assistance and support in times of need. By following these teachings from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we can ensure that our successes are shared among all members of society rather than just a few individuals or groups at the top.
