Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Chapter: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
this wealth is green and sweet هذا المال خضرة حلوة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2374Hasan (Darussalam)
. And His saying, the Exalted:
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life زين للناس حب الشهوات من النساء والبنين والقناطير المقنطرة من الذهب والفضة والخيل المسومة والأنعم والحرث ذلك متاع الحياة الدنيا
[Ali 'Imran 3:14]
. 'Umar said: "O Allah, we are not able to do anything but rejoice in what You have made attractive to us. O Allah, I ask You that I may spend it in its right place"

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. The author says: Chapter: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
this wealth is green and sweet هذا المال خضرة حلوة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2374Hasan (Darussalam)
. This has previously appeared in a connected hadith. He said: And Allah, the Exalted, said:
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums زين للناس حب الشهوات من النساء والبنين والقناطير المقنطرة
[Ali 'Imran 3:14]
. "Zuyina" (made attractive)—the one who makes it attractive is Allah, Mighty and Majestic. However, sometimes Allah mentions the action that is from Him, Mighty and Majestic, in the form of a passive verb (built for the unnamed agent) out of reluctance to attribute it to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
Among such instances is the saying of the jinn:
And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course. وأنا لا ندري أشر أريد بمن في الأرض أم أراد بهم ربهم رشدا
[Al-Jinn 72:10]
. When they mentioned evil, they said: "Is it intended?" even though Allah is the One who intends it. And when they mentioned good, namely guidance, they said: "Or did their Lord intend for them guidance?" "From women" means wives. "And sons" is well known. "And hoarded quantities" means thousands upon thousands of gold...
