Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade two types of dress and two sales transactions. He forbade the sales transactions called mulamasa and munabadha.* The two types of dress are samma' ** and wrapping oneself up in garment while sitting down [with the legs drawn up] without anything covering the private parts."  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لِبْسَتَيْنِ وَبَيْعَتَيْنِ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُلاَمَسَةِ وَالْمُنَابَذَةِ فِي الْبَيْعِ الْمُلاَمَسَةُ أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ ثَوْبَهُ وَالْمُنَابَذَةُ يَنْبُذُ الْآخَرُ إِلَيْهِ ثَوْبَهُ وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ بَيْعَهُمْ عَنْ غَيْرِ نَظَرٍ وَاللِّبْسَتَيْنِ اشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّاءِ وَالصَّمَّاءُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ طَرَفَ ثَوْبِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَاتِقَيْهِ فَيَبْدُو أَحَدُ شِقَّيْهِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَاللِّبْسَةُ الأُخْرَى احْتِبَاؤُهُ بِثَوْبِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ لَيْسَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported his fasting was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to visit me and I threw him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fibre, but he sat on the ground. The cushion remained between me and him. He asked me, 'Are three days every month enough for you?' I said, 'Messenger of Allah!' He said, 'Five?' I said, 'Messenger of Allah!' He said, Eleven?' I said, 'Messenger of Allah!' Then he said, 'Do not exceed the fast of Da'ud. Half of the time. Fast one day and break the fast the next.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذُكِرَ لَهُ صَوْمِي فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فَأَلْقَيْتُ لَهُ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَصَارَتِ الْوِسَادَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ لِي أَمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ خَمْسًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ سَبْعًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ تِسْعًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ لاَ صَوْمَ فَوْقَ صَوْمِ دَاوُدَ شَطْرَ الدَّهْرِ صِيَامُ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ  

'Abdullah ibn Busr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by 'Abdullah's father who threw the Prophet a rug on which he sat.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ قَطِيفَةً فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا  

Qayla related, "I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sitting squatting. When I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, humble in his form of sitting, I trembled from fear."  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَاعِدًا الْقُرْفُصَاءَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ الْمُتَخَشِّعَ فِي الْجِلْسَةِ أُرْعِدْتُ مِنَ الْفَرَقِ  

Dhayyal ibn Hanzala said, "I visited the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I saw him sitting cross-legged."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَرَأَيْتُهُ جَالِسًا مُتَرَبِّعًا  

Abu Ruzayq related that he saw 'Ali ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas sitting cross-legged with one foot crossed over the other, the right on the left.  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسًا مُتَرَبِّعًا وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى  

'Imran ibn Muslim said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik sitting like that - cross-legged, with one of his feet over the other one."  

رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَجْلِسُ هَكَذَا مُتَرَبِّعًا وَيَضَعُ إِحْدَى قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى الأخْرَى  

Salim ibn Jabir al-Hujaymi said, "I came up to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he was wrapped up in a cloak whose edges were cover his feet. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, advise me.' He said, 'You must have fearful awareness of Allah. Do not scorn anything correct, even pouring water from your bucket into the bucket of someone else who asks you for water or talking to your brother with a happy face. Beware of dragging your waist-wrapper - it is part of arrogance and Allah does not like it. If a man blames you for something he knows about you, do not blame him for anything you know of him. Leave him to his own evil. You will have your reward. Do not abuse anything.'"  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٍ فِي بُرْدَةٍ وَإِنَّ هُدَّابَهَا لَعَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللهِ وَلاَ تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ لِلْمُسْتَسْقِي مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَائِهِ أَوْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَلاَ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ عَيَّرَكَ بِشَيْءٍ يَعْلَمُهُ مِنْكَ فَلاَ تُعَيِّرْهُ بِشَيْءٍ تَعْلَمُهُ مِنْهُ دَعْهُ يَكُونُ وَبَالُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَجْرُهُ لَكَ وَلاَ تَسُبَّنَّ شَيْئًا قال فما سببت بعد دابة ولا إنساناً  

It is related that Abu Hurayra said, "I never sae al-Hasan without my eyes overflowing with tears. That is because the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out one day and he found me in the mosque. He took my hand and I went along with him. He did not speak to me until we reached the market of Banu Qaynuqa'. He walked around it and looked. Then he left and I left with him until we reached the mosque. He sat down and wrapped himself in his garment. Then he said, 'Where is the little one? Call the little one to me.' Hasan came running and jumped into his lap. Then he put his hand in his beard. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, opened his mouth and put his mouth in his mouth. Then he said, O Allah, I love him, so love him and the one who loves him!'"  

مَا رَأَيْتُ حَسَنًا قَطُّ إِلاَّ فَاضَتْ عَيْنَايَ دُمُوعًا وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَنِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَمَا كَلَّمَنِي حَتَّى جِئْنَا سُوقَ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعٍ فَطَافَ فِيهِ وَنَظَرَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جِئْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَجَلَسَ فَاحْتَبَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ لَكَاعٌ؟ ادْعُ لِي لَكَاعًا فَجَاءَ حَسَنٌ يَشْتَدُّ فَوَقَعَ فِي حِجْرِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ فَيُدْخِلُ فَاهُ فِي فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحْبِبْهُ وَأَحِبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ  

Anas ibn Malik related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed Dhuhr with them. When he said the taslim, he stood on the minbar and talked about the Final Hour. He mentioned terrible things about it. Then he said, 'Whoever wants to ask about something should ask about it. By Allah, whatever you ask me about, I will tell you as long as I am in this place.' People wept a great deal when they heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, repeated frequently, 'Ask.' 'Umar knelt on knees and said, 'We are content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as (the) deen, and with Muhammad as Messenger.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was silent when 'Umar said that. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Better! By the One in Whose hand the soul of Muhammad is, I have been shown the Garden and the Fire inside this garden while I was praying. I have not seen any good and evil such as I have seen this day.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمُ الظُّهْرَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ فِيهَا أُمُورًا عِظَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلْيَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ مَا دُمْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَأَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ الْبُكَاءَ حِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَكْثَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ سَلُوا فَبَرَكَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَقَالَ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْلَى أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فِي عُرْضِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ  

'Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn 'Asim al-Mazini said, "I saw him." Malik ibn Isma'il asked Ibn 'Uyayna (who had transmitted this to him), "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?" He replied, "Yes, lying down with one of his feet over the other."  

رَأَيْتُهُ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ مُسْتَلْقِيًا وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى  

Al-Miswar said, "I saw 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf lying down with one of his feet over the other."  

رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ مُسْتَلْقِيًا رَافِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأخْرَى  

Ibn Tikhfa al-Ghifari reported that his father told him that he had been one of the People of the Bench. He told him, "I was sleeping in the mosque during the last part of the night, lying on my stomach. Someone came to me and moved me with his foot, saying, 'Get up. This is a manner of lying down which Allah hates.' I raised my head and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was standing by my head."  

بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أَتَانِي آتٍ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ عَلَى بَطْنِي فَحَرَّكَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ قُمْ هَذِهِ ضَجْعَةٌ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي  

Abu Umama reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by a man in the mosque who was lying on his front. He kicked him with his foot and said, "Get up. It is the sleep of Jahannam."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مُنْبَطِحًا لِوَجْهِهِ فَضَرَبَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ قُمْ نَوْمَةٌ جَهَنَّمِيَّةٌ  

Ibn 'Umar said, "the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'None of you should eat with his left hand nor drink with his left hand. Shaytan eats and drinks with his left hand.'"  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَأْكُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشِمَالِهِ وَلاَ يَشْرَبَنَّ بِشِمَالِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ قال كان نافع يزيد فيها ((ولا يأخذ بها ولا يعطي بها))  

Ibn 'Abbas said, "Part of the sunna is that when a man sits down, he removes his sandals and puts them at his side."  

مِنَ السُّنَّةِ إِذَا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَخْلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَيَضَعُهُمَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ  

Abu Umama said, "Shaytan comes to one of you in bed after his family has covered him and wished him good night. He throws sticks, stones or other things on him to make him angry with his family. When he feels that, he should not get angry with his family.' He said, 'It is part of the work of Shaytan.'"  

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي إِلَى فِرَاشِ أَحَدِكُمْ بَعْدَ مَا يَفْرِشُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَيُهَيِّئُونَهُ فَيُلْقِي عَلَيْهِ الْعُودَ أَوِ الْحَجَرَ أَوِ الشَّيْءَ لِيُغْضِبَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ يَغْضَبْ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ لأَنَّهُ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ  

'Ali reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone spends the night on the top of his house without protection, Allah has no responsibility for (protecting) him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حِجَابٌ فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ قال أبو عبد الله في إسناده نظر  

'Ali ibn 'Umara said, "Abu Ayyub al-Ansari came and went up on the flat roof. He came down and said, 'I almost spent the night with no protection.'"  

جَاءَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَصَعِدْتُ بِهِ عَلَى سَطْحٍ أَجْلَحَ فَنَزَلَ وَقَالَ كِدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيتَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَلاَ ذِمَّةَ لِي  

Zuhayr reported that one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone spends the night on a flat roof (without walls) and then falls off of it and dies, no one bears any responsibility for him. If anyone embarks on the sea when it is fierce (i.e. stormy) and is destroyed, no one bears any responsibility for him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى إِنْجَارٍ فَوَقَعَ مِنْهُ فَمَاتَ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ وَمَنْ رَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ حِينَ يَرْتَجُّ يَعْنِي يَغْتَلِمُ فَهَلَكَ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ  

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting in a walled garden on the rim of a well, dangling his feet into the well.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي حَائِطٍ عَلَى قُفِّ الْبِئْرِ مُدَلِّيًا رِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْبِئْرِ  

When Ibn 'Umar left his house, he used to say, "O Allah, keep me and those with me safe!"  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنِي وَسَلِّمْ مِنِّي  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say when he left his house, "In the Name of Allah. Reliance is on Allah. There is no power nor strength except by Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ التُّكْلاَنُ عَلَى اللهِ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ  

"When it became clear to us that we should go to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, we travelled until we were in sight of our destination. We were met by a man on a young camel. He greeted is and we returned the greeting. Then he stopped and asked, 'Which tribe are you from?' We replied, 'We are the delegation of 'Abdu'l-Qays.' The man said, 'Welcome. I was looking for you. I came to give you good news. Yesterday the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked towards the east and told us, "Tomorrow from that direction (i.e. the east) there will come the best delegation of the Arabs." I spent the night preparing to leave. This morning I rode long and hard on my camel until dawn rose. Then I thought of returning, but I caught sight of the heads of your mounts.'  

أَنَّ بَعْضَ وَفْدِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ سَمِعَهُ يَذْكُرُ قَالَ لَمَّا بَدَأْنَا فِي وِفَادَتِنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا شَارَفْنَا الْقُدُومَ تَلَقَّانَا رَجُلٌ يُوضِعُ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَقَالَ مِمَّنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قُلْنَا وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ وَأَهْلاً إِيَّاكُمْ طَلَبْتُ جِئْتُ لِأُبَشِّرَكُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالأَمْسِ لَنَا إِنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ فَقَالَ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ غَدًا مَنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ يَعْنِي الْمَشْرِقَ خَيْرُ وَفْدِ الْعَرَبِ فَبَتُّ أَرُوغُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِي فَأَمْعَنْتُ فِي الْمَسِيرِ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ وَهَمَمْتُ بِالرُّجُوعِ ثُمَّ رُفِعَتْ رُءُوسُ رَوَاحِلِكُمْ ثُمَّ ثَنَى رَاحِلَتَهُ بِزِمَامِهَا رَاجِعًا يُوضِعُ عَوْدَهُ عَلَى بَدْئِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلَهُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ بِأَبِيوَأُمِّي جِئْتُ أُبَشِّرُكَ بِوَفْدِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَقَالَ أَنَّى لَكَ بِهِمْ يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ هُمْ أُولاَءِ عَلَى أَثَرِي قَدْ أَظَلُّوا فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ بَشَّرَكَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ وَتَهَيَّأَ الْقَوْمُ فِي مَقَاعِدِهِمْ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَاعِدًا فَأَلْقَى ذَيْلَ رِدَائِهِ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَاتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ وَبَسَطَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَدِمَ الْوَفْدُ فَفَرِحَ بِهِمُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ أَمْرَحُوا رِكَابَهُمْ فَرَحًا بِهِمْ وَأَقْبَلُوا سِرَاعًا فَأَوْسَعَ الْقَوْمُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَتَخَلَّفَ الأَشَجُّ وَهُوَ مُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَائِذِ بْنِ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَصَرَ فَجَمَعَ رِكَابَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَهَا وَحَطَّ أَحْمَالَهَا وَجَمَعَ مَتَاعَهَا ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ عَيْبَةً لَهُ وَأَلْقَى عَنْهُ ثِيَابَ السَّفَرِ وَلَبِسَ حُلَّةً ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي مُتَرَسِّلاً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ وَزَعِيمُكُمْ وَصَاحِبُ أَمْرِكُمْ؟ فَأَشَارُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ سَادَتِكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا كَانَ آبَاؤُهُ سَادَتَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَهُوَ قَائِدُنَا إِلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى الأَشَجُّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ اسْتَوَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَاعِدًا قَالَ هَا هُنَا يَا أَشَجُّ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ سُمِّيَ الأَشَجَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ أَصَابَتْهُ حِمَارَةٌ بِحَافِرِهَا وَهُوَ فَطِيمٌ فَكَانَ فِي وَجْهِهِ مِثْلُ الْقَمَرِ فَأَقْعَدَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَأَلْطَفَهُ وَعَرَفَ فَضْلَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَهُ وَيُخْبِرُهُمْ حَتَّى كَانَ بِعَقِبِ الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوِدَتِكُمْ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَامُوا سِرَاعًا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى ثِقَلِهِ فَجَاءُوا بِصُبَرِ التَّمْرِ فِي أَكُفِّهِمْ فَوُضِعَتْ عَلَى نِطَعٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ جَرِيدَةٌ دُونَ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ وَفَوْقَ الذِّرَاعِ فَكَانَ يَخْتَصِرُ بِهَا قَلَّمَا يُفَارِقُهَا فَأَوْمَأَ بِهَا إِلَى صُبْرَةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ التَّمْرِ فَقَالَ تُسَمُّونَ هَذَا التَّعْضُوضَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ وَتُسَمُّونَ هَذَا الصَّرَفَانَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ وَتُسَمُّونَ هَذَا الْبَرْنِيَّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هُوَ خَيْرُ تَمْرِكُمْ وَأَنْفَعُهُ لَكُمْ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ شُيُوخِ الْحَيِّ وَأَعْظَمُهُ بَرَكَةً وَإِنَّمَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا خَصِبَةٌ نَعْلِفُهَا إِبِلَنَا وَحَمِيرَنَا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ وِفَادَتِنَا تِلْكَ عَظُمَتْ رَغْبَتُنَا فِيهَا وَفَسَلْنَاهَا حَتَّى تَحَوَّلَتْ ثِمَارُنَا مِنْهَا وَرَأَيْنَا الْبَرَكَةَ فِيهَا
