٦٦۔ كِتَابُ الشَّهَادَاتِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Beware of oppression, for surely oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And beware of foul language, for Allah does not love foul language or vulgar speech. And beware of stinginess, for it destroyed those who came before you. They were commanded to be frugal, so they became stingy. They were commanded to be wicked, so they became wicked. Then a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which aspect of Islam is the best?" Shu'bah said in his narration: The Prophet ﷺ answered, "That the Muslims are safe from his tongue and his hand." And Al-Mas'udi said: That the Muslims are safe from his tongue and his hand. Then that man stood up again or someone else stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which migration is the best?" He replied, "To abandon what your Lord dislikes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said: Migration is of two types: migration from one residence to another, and migration from one locality to another. As for the latter, it is the best and most deserving of reward. And Al-Mas'udi said: A man called out to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, which martyrs are the best?" He replied, "Those who have their horses crippled and their blood shed."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَقَالَ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ أَنْ يَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ فَقَامَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَهْجُرَ مَا كَرِهَ رَبُّكَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْهِجْرَةُ هِجْرَتَانِ هِجْرَةُ الْحَاضِرِ وَهِجْرَةُ الْبَادِي فَأَمَّا الْبَادِي فَيُجِيبُ إِذَا دُعِيَ وَيُطِيعُ إِذَا أُمِرَ وَأَمَّا الْحَاضِرُ فَهُوَ أَعْظَمُهُمَا بَلِيَّةً وَأَفْضَلُهُمَا أَجْرًا وَقَالَ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ وَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الشُّهَدَاءِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ يُعْقَرَ جَوَادُكَ وَيُهْرَاقَ دَمُكَ
"The believer does not insult the honor of others, nor curse, nor commit Fahishah, nor is he foul." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1977)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلَا اللَّعَّانِ وَلَا الْفَاحِشِ الْبَذِئِ
[Machine] Are you reciting poetry in the sacred sanctuary of Allah and in front of the Kaaba of Allah? A man from the Ansar came forward, he was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O son of Zubair, there is no harm if you do not harm yourself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only forbade poetry when it involves obscenity and when wealth is wasted on it."
أَفِي حَرَمِ اللهِ وَعِنْدَ كَعْبَةِ اللهِ تَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ مَعَنَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِكَ بَأْسٌ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْسَدْ نَفْسُكَ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنِ الشِّعْرِ إِذَا أُبِّنَتْ فِيهِ النِّسَاءُ وَبُذِّرَ فِيهِ الْأَمْوَالُ
