حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ خَزَائِنُ وَلِتِلْکَ الْخَزَائِنِ مَفَاتِيحُ فَطُوبَی لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لِلْخَيْرِ مِغْلَاقًا لِلشَّرِّ وَوَيْلٌ لِعَبْدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحًا لَلشَّرِّ مِغْلَاقًا لِلْخَيْرِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 238
It was narrated from Sahl bin Sa’d that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: “This goodness contains many treasures, and for those treasures there are keys. So glad tidings to the one whom Allah makes a key to good and a lock for evil, and woe to the one Whom Allah makes a key to evil and a lock to good.” (Da’if)
