O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I do not like to enter the houses of my people. So he sent me, and when I came back he said: ʿO ‘Ali, do not be a cause of division, or a show-off, or a merchant, except a good merchant, for they are the ones who procrastinate - or who are lagging behind - in doing good deeds.ʿ It was narrated from a man among the people of Basrah - whom the people of Basrah called Abu Muwarriʿ whilst the people of Koofah called him Abu Muhammad - said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at a funeral... and he mentioned a hadeeth similar to that of Abu Dawood from Abu Shihab.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يُسَوِّيَ كُلَّ قَبْرٍ وَأَنْ يُلَطِّخَ كُلَّ صَنَمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ بُيُوتَ قَوْمِي قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَنِي فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَكُونَنَّ فَتَّانًا وَلا مُخْتَالًا وَلا تَاجِرًا إِلا تَاجِرَ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ مُسَوِّفُونَ أَوْ مَسْبُوقُونَ فِي الْعَمَلِ
