خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هُوَ مَحْزُونٌ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ وَ مَعَهُ مَفَاتِيحُ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ مَفَاتِيحُ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَبُّكَ افْتَحْ وَ خُذْ مِنْهَا مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُنْقَصَ شَيْئاً عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الدُّنْيَا دَارُ مَنْ لَا دَارَ لَهُ وَ لَهَا يَجْمَعُ مَنْ لَا عَقْلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ مِنْ مَلَكٍ يَقُولُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ حِينَ أُعْطِيتُ الْمَفَاتِيحَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> who said: ‘The Prophet<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> came out and he<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> was in grief. So an Angel came over to him<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, and with him were keys to the treasures of the earth, and he said: ‘O Muhammad<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>! These are keys to the treasures of the earth. Your<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Lord<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> is Saying to you<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> “Open and take from it whatever you<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> so desire to from without there being a reduction of anything in My Presence”’. So Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘The world is a house for the one what has no house for him, and for it there is a collection for the one who has no intellect for him’. So the Angel said: ‘By the One<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Who Sent you<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> with the Truth as a Prophet<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, I had heard this speech from an Angel saying it in the fourth sky, when I was given the keys’’.
