I saw a man whose opinion was accepted by the people, and whatever he said they submitted to it. I asked: Who is he? They said: This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: On you be peace, Messenger of Allah, twice. He said: Do not say "On you be peace," for "On you be peace" is a greeting for the dead, but say "Peace be upon you". I asked: You are the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon you)? He said: I am the Messenger of Allah Whom you call when a calamity befalls you and He removes it; when you suffer from drought and you call Him, He grows food for you; and when you are in a desolate land or in a desert and your she-camel strays and you call Him, He returns it to you. I said: Give me some advice. He said: Do not abuse anyone. He said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth. He said: Do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face. This is a good work. Have your lower garment halfway down your shin; if you cannot do it, have it up to the ankles. Beware of trailing the lower garment, for it is conceit and Allah does not like conceit. And if a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it.  

عَنْ رَأْيِهِ لاَ يَقُولُ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ صَدَرُوا عَنْهُ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَيِّتِ قُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَنْبَتَهَا لَكَ وَإِذَا كُنْتَ بِأَرْضٍ قَفْرَاءَ أَوْ فَلاَةٍ فَضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَتُكَ فَدَعَوْتَهُ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ اعْهَدْ إِلَىَّ قَالَ لاَ تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا قَالَ فَمَا سَبَبْتُ بَعْدَهُ حُرًّا وَلاَ عَبْدًا وَلاَ بَعِيرًا وَلاَ شَاةً قَالَ وَلاَ تَحْقِرَنَّ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ وَجْهُكَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ وَعَيَّرَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلاَ تُعَيِّرْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا وَبَالُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or he said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and a man came to him and said: Are you the Messenger of Allah? Or he said: Are you Muhammad? He said: Yes. He said: What do you call for? He said: I call to worship Allah alone. If you are afflicted with harm, you call upon Him to remove it from you. And if you are afflicted with a year of drought, you call upon Him to bring forth crops for you. And if you are in a barren land and you go astray, you call upon Him to guide you back. He said: So the man embraced Islam. Then he said: Advise me, O Messenger of Allah! He said: Do not revile anything or anyone, for the judge may become doubtful. He said: I have never reviled a camel or a sheep since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised me. And do not disdain good deeds, even if it is just by extending your face towards your brother while speaking to him. And empty your bucket into the container of the one seeking water. And tie your garment below the halfway point of your leg. And if you refuse, then below the calves. And be wary of dragging your garment, for it is a sign of arrogance. And Allah does not love arrogance.  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِلَامَ تَدْعُو؟ قَالَ أَدْعُو إِلَى اللهِ وَحْدَهُ مَنْ إِذَا كَانَ بِكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَمَنْ إِذَا أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَنْبَتَ لَكَ وَمَنْ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي أَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ فَأَضْلَلْتَ فَدَعَوْتَهُ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَأَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَوْصِنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَا تَسُبَّنَّ شَيْئًا أَوْ قَالَ أَحَدًا شَكَّ الْحَكَمُ قَالَ فَمَا سَبَبْتُ شَيْئًا بَعِيرًا وَلَا شَاةً مُنْذُأَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا تَزْهَدْ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَوْ بِبَسْطِ وَجْهِكَ إِلَى أَخِيكَ وَأَنْتَ تُكَلِّمُهُ وَأَفْرِغْ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَاتَّزِرْ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَاللهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what should I supplicate?" He said, "Supplicate to Allah alone, who, if you are afflicted with harm, you supplicate to Him and He removes it from you. And who, if you are lost in a barren land, you supplicate to Him and He guides you back. And who, if a year of famine befalls you, you supplicate to Him and He brings forth for you. I said, "Then advise me." He said, "Do not verbally abuse anyone, and do not underestimate any good deed, even if it is as small as meeting your brother with a smiling face. And even if you empty your bucket into the vessel of one who seeks water. And even if you gird your garment to half of your shin. If you are able to do more, then to the ankles. And beware of trailing your garment, for trailing the garment is from arrogance. And indeed, Allah does not love arrogance."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَامَ تَدْعُو؟ قَالَ أَدْعُو إِلَى اللهِ وَحْدَهُ الَّذِي إِنْ مَسَّكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَ عَنْكَ وَالَّذِي إِنْ ضَلَلْتَ بِأَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ دَعَوْتَهُ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ وَالَّذِي إِنْ أَصَابَتْكَ سَنَةٌ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَنْبَتَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَوْصِنِي قَالَ لَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا وَلَا تَزْهَدَنَّ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ وَجْهُكَ وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَائْتَزِرْ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ

قُلْتُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «لَا تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَيِّتِ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَإِذَا أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَسْهَلَ لَكَ قُلْتُ اعْهَدْ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا قَالَ «لَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا وَلَا تَحْقِرَنَّ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ وَارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبِيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا وَبَالُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ»
