Al-Aswad said, "I asked 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do when he was with his family?' She replied, 'He would do chores for his family, and when it was time for the prayer, he would go out.'"  

عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي أَهْلِهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاةُ خَرَجَ  

Hisham ibn 'Urwa said that his father said, "I asked 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do in his house?' She replied, 'He mended his sandals and worked as any man works in his house.'"  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ يَخْصِفُ نَعْلَهُ وَيَعْمَلُ مَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ  

Hisham said, "I asked 'A'isha, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do in his house?' She replied, 'He did what one of you would do in his house. He mended sandals and patched garments and sewed."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا يَصْنَعُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا يَصْنَعُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ يَخْصِفُ النَّعْلَ وَيَرْقَعُ الثَّوْبَ وَيَخِيطُ  

'Amra reported that 'A'isha was asked, "What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do in his house?" She replied, "He was a man like other men. He removed the fleas from his garment and milked his sheep."  

عَنْ عَمْرَةَ قِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مَاذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ بَشَرًا مِنَ الْبَشَرِ يَفْلِي ثَوْبَهُ وَيَحْلِبُ شَاتَهُ  

Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When one of you has love for his brother, he should inform him that he loves him."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُعْلِمْهُ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ  

Mujahid said, "One of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, met me and took hold of my shoulder from behind. He said, 'I love you,' and he went on to say, 'The One for whose sake I love you loves you.' He continued, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When a man has love for another man, he should tell him that he loves him," I would not have told you.'"  

عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ لَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِي مِنْ وَرَائِي قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ قَالَ أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ فَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ مَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيَّ الْخِطْبَةَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا جَارِيَةً أَمَا إِنَّهَا عَوْرَاءُ  

Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When two men have love for one another, the better of them is the one who has the strongest love for his companion."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا تَحَابَّا الرَّجُلاَنِ إِلاَّ كَانَ أَفْضَلُهُمَا أَشَدَّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ  

Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "When you have love for your brother, do not quarrel with him or treat him badly nor ask questions about him, It may be that an enemy of his will appear and say something about him which is not true and will thereby cause a split between you."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَحْبَبْتَ أَخًا فَلاَ تُمَارِهِ وَلاَ تُشَارِّهِ وَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ فَعَسَى أَنْ تُوَافِيَ لَهُ عَدُوًّا فَيُخْبِرَكَ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَيُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has love for his brother in Allah and for Allah should say, 'I love you for Allah,' and they will both enter the Garden. The one who has love for someone in Allah has a degree over the one he loves because of his love."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَخًا لِلَّهِ فِي اللهِ قَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ فَدَخَلاَ جَمِيعًا الْجَنَّةَ كَانَ الَّذِي أَحَبَّ فِي اللهِ أَرْفَعَ دَرَجَةً لِحُبِّهِ عَلَى الَّذِي أَحَبَّهُ لَهُ  

'Iyad ibn Khalifa heard 'Ali say at Siffin, "The intellect is located in the heart. Mercy is located in the liver, Compassion is located in the spleen. The self (nafs) is located in the lungs."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ بِصِفِّينَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَقْلَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَالرَّحْمَةَ فِي الْكَبِدِ وَالرَّأْفَةَ فِي الطِّحَالِ وَالنَّفَسَ فِي الرِّئَةِ  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a bedouin man wearing a robe with a border approached him until he stood before the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'Your companion has debased every horseman and elevates every shepherd.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took hold of the folds of his robe and said, 'I see that you are wearing the clothes of someone who is without intelligence.' Then he went on, 'When the Prophet Nuh, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he told his son, "I will give you some instructions. I command you to things and I forbid you two things. I command you to say, 'There is no god but Allah.' If the seven heavens and the seven earths were a dark ring, they would be cut by 'There is no god but Allah' and 'Glory be to Allah and by His praise.' It is the prayer of every thing and by it everything has its provision. And I forbid you to associate others with and Allah and to be proud.'  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ سِيجَانٍ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ قَدْ وَضَعَ كُلَّ فَارِسٍ أَوْ قَالَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَضَعَ كُلَّ فَارِسٍ وَيَرْفَعَ كُلَّ رَاعٍ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَجَامِعِ جُبَّتِهِ فَقَالَ أَلاَ أَرَى عَلَيْكَ لِبَاسَ مَنْ لاَ يَعْقِلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ نُوحًا ﷺ لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِابْنِهِ إِنِّي قَاصٌّ عَلَيْكَ الْوَصِيَّةَ آمُرُكَ بِاثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَنْهَاكَ عَنِ اثْنَتَيْنِ آمُرُكَ بِلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَإِنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَالأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ لَوْ وُضِعْنَ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَوُضِعَتْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فِي كِفَّةٍ لَرَجَحَتْ بِهِنَّ وَلَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَالأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ كُنَّ حَلْقَةً مُبْهَمَةً لَقَصَمَتْهُنَّ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ فَإِنَّهَا صَلاَةُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَبِهَا يُرْزَقُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ وَالْكِبْرِ فَقُلْتُ أَوْ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الشِّرْكُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا الْكِبْرُ؟ هُوَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لأَحَدِنَا حُلَّةٌ يَلْبَسُهَا؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهُوَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لأَحَدِنَا نَعْلاَنِ حَسَنَتَانِ لَهُمَا شِرَاكَانِ حَسَنَانِ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهُوَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لأَحَدِنَا دَابَّةٌ يَرْكَبُهَا؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهُوَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لأَحَدِنَا أَصْحَابٌ يَجْلِسُونَ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا الْكِبْرُ؟ قَالَ سَفَهُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْصُ النَّاسِ  

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone behaves insolently or walks with an arrogant, he will meet Allah Almighty covered with His anger."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَعَظَّمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَوِ اخْتَالَ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Someone who eats with his servant, rides a donkey in the markets, and ties up his sheep and milks it is not proud."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا اسْتَكْبَرَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مَعَهُ خَادِمُهُ وَرَكِبَ الْحِمَارُ بِالأَسْوَاقِ وَاعْتَقَلَ الشَّاةَ فَحَلَبَهَا  

Salih, the garment-seller, reported that his grandmother said, "I saw 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, buy fates for a dirham and put them in his blanket. I said to him (or a man said to him), 'I will carry it for you, Amir al-Mu'minin.' He said, 'No, the father of the family is the one who is the most entitled to carry it.'"  

عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اشْتَرَى تَمْرًا بِدِرْهَمٍ فَحَمَلَهُ فِي مِلْحَفَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَوْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَحْمِلُ عَنْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ لاَ أَبُو الْعِيَالِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said that Allah Almighty said, "Might is My wrapper and pride is My cloak. I will punish anyone who contends with Me over either of them."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعِزُّ إِزَارِي وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا عَذَّبْتُهُ  

An-Nu'man ibn Bashir was heard to say on the minbar, "Shaytan has snares and traps. The snares and traps of Shaytan are to exult ungratefully in the blessings of Allah, to boast about the gifts of Allah, to have pride at the expense of the slaves of Allah, and to follow passion for other than the sake of Allah."  

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ إِنَّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ مَصَالِيًا وَفُخُوخًا وَإِنَّ مَصَالِيَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَفُخُوخَهُ الْبَطَرُ بِأَنْعُمِ اللهِ وَالْفَخْرُ بِعَطَاءِ اللهِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ وَاتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى فِي غَيْرِ ذَاتِ اللهِ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Garden and the Fire quarrelled and the Fire said, 'The tyrants will enter me and the proud will enter me.' The Garden retorted, 'The weak will enter me and the poor will enter me.' Allah Almighty said to the Garden, 'You are My mercy and I show you to whomever I will.' Then He said to the Fire, 'You are My punishment with which I will punish whomever I will. Each of you will have your fill.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ أَيْضًا اخْتَصَمَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَلِجُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَيَلِجُنِي الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَلِجُنِي الضُّعَفَاءُ وَيَلِجُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا  

Abu Salama ibn 'Abdu'r-Rahman said, "The Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, were neither niggardly nor weak (in worship). They used to recite poems to one another in their gatherings and they mentioned matters of the Jahiliyya. But when one of them was asked about something concerning Allah, his eyes went around as if he were mad."  

عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَحَزِّقِينَ وَلاَ مُتَمَاوِتِينَ وَكَانُوا يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَيَذْكُرُونَ أَمْرَ جَاهِلِيَّتِهِمْ فَإِذَا أُرِيدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللهِ دَارَتْ حَمَالِيقُ عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ  

Abu Hurayra reported that a man who was handsome came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "I love beauty and I have been given what you see so I do not want anyone to be superior to me (and he either said 'by the strap of a sandal' or 'by a red sandal-thong'). Is that pride?" "No," he replied. "Pride is when someone disdains the truth and is contemptuous of people."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَكَانَ جَمِيلاً فَقَالَ حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَمَالُ وَأُعْطِيتُ مَا تَرَى حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوقَنِي أَحَدٌ إِمَّا قَالَ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلٍ وَإِمَّا قَالَ بِشِسْعٍ أَحْمَرَ الْكِبْرُ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ الْكِبْرَ مَنْ بَطَرَ الْحَقَّ وَغَمَطَ النَّاسَ  

'Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported via his father that his grandfather related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of Rising, the proud will be gathered like specks in the form of men. Abasement will envelop them on every side. They will be driven to a prison in Jahannam called Bulas. The hottest of fires will rise over them. They will have to drink the pus of the people of the Fire, the foul fluid that their skins excrete."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُحْشَرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمْثَالَ الذَّرِّ فِي صُورَةِ الرِّجَالِ يَغْشَاهُمُ الذُّلُّ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى سِجْنٍ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ يُسَمَّى بُولَسَ تَعْلُوهُمْ نَارُ الأَنْيَارِ وَيُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ عُصَارَةِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ طِينَةَ الْخَبَالِ  

'A'isha reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Go ahead, take revenge."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا دُونَكِ فَانْتَصِرِي  

'A'isha reported that the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent Fatima to the Prophet and she asked for permission to enter while the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was with 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, who was wearing a wool dress. He gave her permission to enter and she came in. She said, "Your wives have sent me to ask you for justice regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafa (i.e. 'A'isha)." He said, "Daughter, do you love what I love?" "Yes," she replied. He said, "Then love this woman."  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي مِرْطِهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَدَخَلَتْ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ قَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ أَتُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَأَحِبِّي هَذِهِ فَقَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ فَحَدَّثَتْهُمْ فَقُلْنَ مَا أَغْنَيْتِ عَنَّا شَيْئًا فَارْجِعِي إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُكَلِّمُهُ فِيهَا أَبَدًا فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَوَقَعَتْ فِيَّ زَيْنَبُ تَسُبُّنِي فَطَفِقْتُ أَنْظُرُ هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لاَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ فَوَقَعْتُ بِزَيْنَبَ فَلَمْ أَنْشَبْ أَنْ أَثْخَنْتُهَا غَلَبَةً فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

Abu Hurayra said, "There will be a famine at the end of time and whoever encounters it will not be just to those with hungry stomachs."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ مَجَاعَةٌ مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَلاَ يَعْدِلَنَّ بِالأَكْبَادِ الْجَائِعَةِ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Ansar said to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Divide the palm trees between us and our brothers." "No," he replied. He said, "Spare us the trouble of their upkeep and we will let you share in the fruit." They replied, "We hear and obey."  

قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ اقْسِمْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَانِنَا النَّخِيلَ قَالَ لاَ فَقَالُوا تَكْفُونَا الْمَؤُونَةَ وَنُشْرِكُكُمْ فِي الثَّمَرَةِ؟ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا  

'Abdullah ibn 'Umar reported that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab spoke in the Year of the Drought*, which was a severe, disastrous year, after 'Umar had done his best to help the Bedouins with camels, wheat and oil from the fields to the point where all the fields were dried up as a result of those efforts. he stood up to make supplication, saying, "O Allah! Provide them at the tops of the mountains!" Allah answered that supplication for him and the Muslims. When abundant rain fell, he said, "Praise belongs to Allah! By Allah, if Allah had not given us relief, I would not have left the people of any Muslim's house with wealth without putting a like number of poor people with him. Two will not die with food which will support one person."  

قَالَ عَامَ الرَّمَادَةِ وَكَانَتْ سَنَةً شَدِيدَةً مُلِمَّةً بَعْدَ مَا اجْتَهَدَ عُمَرُ فِي إِمْدَادِ الأعْرَابِ بِالإِبِلِ وَالْقَمْحِ وَالزَّيْتِ مِنَ الأَرْيَافِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى بَلَحَتِ الأَرْيَافُ كُلُّهَا مِمَّا جَهَدَهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ يَدْعُو فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَهُمْ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ فَاسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ حِينَ نَزَلَ بِهِ الْغَيْثُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُفْرِجْهَا مَا تَرَكْتُ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَهُمْ سَعَةٌ إِلاَّ أَدْخَلْتُ مَعَهُمْ أَعْدَادَهُمْ مِنَ الْفُقَرَاءِ فَلَمْ يَكُنِ اثْنَانِ يَهْلِكَانِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ عَلَى مَا يُقِيمُ وَاحِدًا  

Salama ibn al-Akwa' reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "As for your sacrifices, none of you should have any of it left in his house after a period of three days. When the following year came, they aid, 'Messenger of Allah, should we do the same as we did last year?' He said, 'Eat and store up, That was a year in which we were in difficulty and I wanted you to help."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ضَحَايَاكُمْ لاَ يُصْبِحُ أَحَدُكُمْ بَعْدَ ثَالِثَةٍ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَفْعَلُ كَمَا فَعَلْنَا الْعَامَ الْمَاضِيَ؟ قَالَ كُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْعَامَ كَانُوا فِي جَهْدٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ تُعِينُوا  

Hisham ibn 'Urwa reported that his father said, "I was sitting with Mu'awiya and he muttered to himself and then came to his senses. [This is when he was ill.] He said, 'No one has forbearance without it being put to the test.' He repeated that three times."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ انْتَبَهَ فَقَالَ لاَ حِلْمَ إِلاَّ تَجْرِبَةٌ يُعِيدُهَا ثَلاثًا  

Abu Sa'id said, "No one is forbearing unless he himself has made a mistake., No one is wise unless he himself has been tested."  

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ لاَ حَلِيمَ إِلاَّ ذُو عَثْرَةٍ وَلاَ حَكِيمَ إِلاَّ ذُو تَجْرِبَةٍ  

'Ali said, "I prefer to have a group of my brothers join around a sa' or two of food to going out to the market and setting a slave free."

'Abda ibn Hazn said, "The people of camels and the people of sheep vied with one another for glory. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Musa was sent, and he was a shepherd.

The Ansari counted off some men among the Muhajirun, but did not mentioned 'Ali. 'Umar asked, "What do they have against Abu'l-Hasan (i.e. 'Ali)? By Allah, if he were in charge of them, he would be the best suited to set them on the Path of the Truth."  

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّا لاَ نُحِبُّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ حَدِيثَنَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَسْتُ أُجَالِسُ أُولَئِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بَلَى فَجَالِسْ هَذَا وَهَذَا وَلاَ تَرْفَعْ حَدِيثَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلأَنْصَارِيِّ مَنْ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ يَكُونُ الْخَلِيفَةَ بَعْدِي؟ فَعَدَّدَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ رِجَالاً مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَأَحْرَاهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُقِيمَهُمْ عَلَى طَرِيقَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ  

Al-Hasan related that a man died and left a son and a mawla. He appointed the mawla as his son's guardian. This was not remiss and continued to look after the lad until he came of age an then he found him a wife. Then the boy said to him, "Equip me so that I can seek for knowledge." He fitted him out. The boy then went to a man of knowledge and asked him to teach him. The man said, "Tell me when you want to leave and I will teach you." The boy said, "I feel should leave, so instruct me." The scholar said, "Have taqwa of Allah. Have patience. Do not be hasty." Al-Hasan remarked that this contains all good.

Ashajj 'Abdu'l-Qays said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me, 'You have two qualities which Allah loves.'

He replied, 'You have had them for a long time.' I said, 'Praise be to Allah who fashioned me with two qualities which Allah loves!'"  

قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخُلُقَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ قُلْتُ وَمَا هُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ قُلْتُ قَدِيمًا كَانَ أَوْ حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ قَدِيمًا قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خُلُقَيْنِ أَحَبَّهُمَا اللَّهُ  

(As hadith above)  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لأَشَجِّ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخَصْلَتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ الْحِلْمُ وَالأَنَاةُ  

(As hadith above)

Mazida al-'Abdi said, "Ashajj came and took the hand of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and kissed it. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told him, 'You have two qualities which Allah and His Messenger love.' He asked, 'Was I born with them or are they characteristics which I have acquired?' He said, 'No, they are part of the natural character on which you were formed.' Ashajj said, 'Praise belongs to Allah who has created me with what Allah an His Messenger love!'"
