[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was wearing a worn-out cloak. He said, "Do you have any wealth?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "From what?" I said, "From all kinds of wealth, from camels, slaves, horses, and sheep." He said, "If Allah gives you wealth, let Him see it on you." Then he said, "Do you have breeding camels?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Those which have healthy ears?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then go to Musa (Moses) and learn from him what is lawful and unlawful for you regarding them." I said, "Yes." He said, "Then whatever Allah gives you, and whatever Moses teaches you, consider them both as good." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Suppose I do not find him?" He said, "Then, act on what he did and send it (the charity, etc.) to the poor, for that is included in what has been said to you."

ahmad:15891ʿAffān > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ from his father

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while I was in a state of dishevelment. He said, "Do you have any wealth?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "What is your wealth?" I replied, "I have wealth from horses, camels, slaves, and sheep." He said, "If Allah gives you wealth, then let it be poured upon you. Do you breed healthy camels among your people, so you intentionally approach a male from the female and cut it off, or cut off her ear? And do you say that this is a Bahr (a certain type of camel) while it has cut ears, and you say this is a Surum (another type of camel) and you forbid it for yourself and your family?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Whatever Allah gives you is lawful for you, and may Allah's help be stronger than your help and Musa (Moses) is the strongest helper from Allah, and perhaps he said it and perhaps he did not say it, and perhaps he said, 'May Allah's help be stronger than your help and Musa (Moses) is the strongest helper from Musa (Moses)." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, there was a man with whom I had a dispute, and he did not treat me kindly or honor me. Then he had a dispute with me and treated me kindly or settled it according to what he did. He said, 'Rather, treat him kindly.'"

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ while I was in a disheveled state and he said, 'Do you have any wealth?' I said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Of what kind?' I said, 'Of all kinds, including camels, slaves, horses, and sheep.' He said, 'If Allah gives you wealth, let it be seen on you.' Then he said, 'Your people's camels will produce healthy offspring, so intentionally go to the one that belongs to Moosa and sever its ears, declaring it to be a Bahira, and slit its hump or cut its skin, declaring it to be a Surma, and thus prohibit it for you and your family?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Whatever Allah has given you is lawful, and Moosa repelled an act of aggression from Allah worse than what you did, and Moosa is no better than you.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a man whom I visited, but he did not honor me nor host me, but then he was visited by me and I honored and hosted him?' He said, 'You should honor him.'"

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was wearing a piece of clothing. He said, "Do you have any wealth?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "What kind of wealth?" I replied, "I have camels, horses, slaves, and sheep." He said, "When Allah gives you wealth, let it be evident on you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "Do the camels of your people produce sound ears? If so, purposely inflict a cut on their ears and say that it is a defect. Or tear their skin and say that it is haram (forbidden), so it becomes forbidden for you and your family." I said, "Yes." He said, "Whatever Allah gives you is permissible for you, and the assistance of Allah is greater than your own assistance. And Musa (Moses) was the strongest of all who aided their people."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ visited me and there were dates in front of me. He asked, "Do you have any wealth?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "What kind of wealth?" I said, "Allah ﷻ has blessed me with wheat and camels." He advised, "Reflect on the blessings and generosity of Allah upon you." Then the Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do your camels produce offspring easily and their ears touch the ground?" I responded, "Yes, isn't it always the case?" The person was not a Muslim at that time, so the Prophet ﷺ suggested, "Perhaps you should take your spear and cut off a part of a camel's ear and say, 'This is a Bahir (sacrificial camel),' and then slit another camel's ear and say, 'This is Saurum (camel for personal use).'" I said, "Yes." He advised, "Don't do that because whatever Allah has given you is permissible, and Moses ﷺ is a servant of Allah but Allah aided him even more." The person then asked, "O Muhammad, what if I pass by a man who didn't help me and didn't invite me [to his house], and then I pass by him again. Should I still greet him?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, only greet him once."
