[Machine] "I saw people from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ reciting poetry near or around the house. I only heard someone say: The acts of Ibrahim are doubtful."  

رَأَيْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ أَوْ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا قَالَ مُحْرِمِينَ شَكَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ  

[Machine] The last gathering we sat in was a session where Zaid ibn Thabit recited poetry to us.  

إِنَّ آخِرَ مَجْلِسٍ جَالَسْنَا فِيهِ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ مَجْلِسٌ تَنَاشَدْنَا فِيهِ الشِّعْرَ  

[Machine] We used to sit with the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they would recite poetry to each other and talk about their days during the pre-Islamic period.  

كُنَّا نُجَالِسُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَتَنَاشَدُونَ الْأَشْعَارَ وَيَتَذَاكَرُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ  

[Machine] For me, poetry is indeed words, and indeed, from words, there are truths and falsehoods.  

لِي إِنَّ الشِّعْرَ كَلَامٌ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ حَقًّا وَبَاطِلًا  

[Machine] The poets amongst the companions of Muhammad ﷺ were Abdullah ibn Rawaha, Hassaan ibn Thabit, and Ka'b ibn Malik.  

كَانَ شُعَرَاءُ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ وَحَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَكَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] If any of you reads something from the Quran and does not know its interpretation, then seek its interpretation in poetry, for it is the collection of the Arabs. This is the correct statement, which is attributed.  

إِذَا قَرَأَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ مَا تَفْسِيرُهُ فَلْيَلْتَمِسْهُ فِي الشِّعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ دِيوَانُ الْعَرَبِ هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ مَوْقُوفٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, there is wisdom in poetry, and if something from the Quran becomes difficult for you, seek it in poetry, for it is Arabic in wording at first."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً وَإِذَا الْتَبَسَ عَلَيْكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَالْتَمِسُوهُ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ عَرَبِيٌّ اللَّفْظُ الْأَوَّلُ قَدْ  

[Machine] Narrated by Malik, the Prophet ﷺ said, "The strong person is not the one who can wrestle others down. Rather, the strong person is the one who can control themselves when they are angry." It is recorded in Sahih Bukhari from the hadith of Malik.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّدِيدَ الَّذِيُ يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The most prevalent kind of usury is going to lengths in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honour. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4876)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مِنْ أَرْبَى الرِّبَا الِاسْتِطَالَةُ فِي عِرْضِ الْمُسْلِمِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the gravest form of interest is slander of people's honor, and the worst form of slander is false accusation. And the narrator of this hadith is one of the slanderers." This hadith was transmitted by 'Imran ibn Anas al-Makki, who narrated it from Ibn Abi Mulaikah, who narrated it from Aisha, attributed to the Prophet ﷺ with the same wording. Al-Bukhari mentioned this hadith but did not comment on it further.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَرْبَى الرِّبَا شَتْمُ الْأَعْرَاضِ وَأَشَدَّ الشَّتْمِ الْهِجَاءُ وَالرَّاوِيَةُ أَحَدُ الشَّاتِمَيْنِ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَهُوَ يُؤَكِّدُ مَا قَبْلَهُ وَرَوَاهُ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ الْمَكِّيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَوْصُولًا بِاللَّفْظِ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَلَمْ يُتَابَعْ عَلَيْهِ  

"The worst of all people lying is a man who trades insults with another man, disparaging the entire tribe, and a man who denies his father and accuses his mother of adultery." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3761)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَعْظَمِ النَّاسِ فِرْيَةً لَرَجُلٌ هَجَا رَجُلًا فَهَجَا الْقَبِيلَةَ بِأَسْرِهَا وَرَجُلٌ انْتَفَى مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَزَنَّى أُمَّهُ  

[Machine] A poet came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Bilal, cut off his tongue from me." So the Prophet ﷺ gave him forty Dirhams and a necklace. The poet said, "By Allah, my tongue has been cut off, by Allah, my tongue has been cut off. This is a severed tongue." It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Umar, and is connected with the mention of Ibn Abbas, but it is not preserved.  

أَنَّ شَاعِرًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا بِلَالُ اقْطَعْ عَنِّي لِسَانَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا وَحُلَّةً قَالَ قُطِعَتْ وَاللهِ لِسَانِي قُطِعَتْ وَاللهِ لِسَانِي هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَمَوْصُولًا بِذِكْرِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَلَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ  

[Machine] "He gave a poet, and it was said to him, 'Oh Abu Nujayd, do you give a poet?' He said, 'I redeem my honor from him.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَعْطَى شَاعِرًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ أَتُعْطِي شَاعِرًا؟ قَالَ إِنِّي أَفْتَدِي عِرْضِي مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every act of kindness is charity, and whatever a man spends on himself and his family is also considered charity. The expression of a person's goodness is also considered charity, and whatever a man spends from his wealth, for the sake of Allah, will be rewarded by Him except for what is spent on building or committing sins." I asked Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, "How can a person protect his dignity?" He replied, "By giving to poets and those who have eloquent speech." 21133 Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us that Isma'il ibn Muhammad al-Saffar narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Ali, who narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Sulayman, who narrated to us from Miswar ibn As-Salt, who narrated to us from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah. He mentioned the hadith in a similar manner, except that he said, "Muhammad said..." We asked Jabir, "What does it mean to protect one's dignity?" He replied, "It refers to the poet and the person with restraining speech. It is as if he is saying that the person who restrains his tongue is the one who protects himself." Ghayr of Miswar is the narration that matches the hadith of Al-Hilali. This hadith is known by these two narrations, and it is not authentic from the two strong narrators. And Allah knows best.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا وَقَى بِهِ الرَّجُلُ عِرْضَهُ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا أَنْفَقَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ فَعَلَى اللهِ خَلَفُهَا إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي بُنْيَانٍ أَوْ مَعْصِيَةٍ قُلْتُ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ مَا يَقِي بِهِ عِرْضَهُ؟ قَالَ يُعْطِي الشَّاعِرَ وَذَا اللِّسَانِ 21133 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا مِسْوَرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقُلْنَا لِجَابِرٍ مَا أَرَادَ مَا وَقَى بِهِ الْمَرْءُ عِرْضَهُ ؟ قَالَ يَعْنِي الشَّاعِرَ وَذَا اللِّسَانِ الْمُتَّقَى كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ الَّذِي يُتَّقَى لِسَانُهُ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُ مِسْوَرٍ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْهِلَالِيِّ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعْرَفُ بِهِمَا وَلَيْسَا بِالْقَوِيَّيْنِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

A man was mentioned before the Prophet ﷺ and another man praised him greatly The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you ! You have cut the neck of your friend." The Prophet ﷺ repeated this sentence many times and said, "If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then he should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so," if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah." (Khalid said, "Woe to you," instead of "Allah's Mercy be on you.") (Using translation from Bukhārī 6061)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ يَقُولُهُ مِرَارًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ كَذَا وَكَذَا إِنْ كَانَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَاكَ وَحَسِيبُهُ اللهُ وَلَا يُزَكِّ أَحَدٌ عَلَى اللهِ  

Woe be to thee, you have broken the neck of your friend, you have broken the neck of your friend-he said this twice. If one of you has to praise his friend at all, he should say: I think (him to be) so and Allah knows it well and I do not know the secret of the heart and Allah knows the destined end, and I cannot testify his purity against Allah but (he appears) to be so and so. (Using translation from Muslim 3000a)   

مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا أَحْسِبُهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا  

You killed him, or you sliced the back of a person. (Using translation from Muslim 3001)   

سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا يُثْنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَيُطْرِيهِ فِي الْمِدْحَةِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَهْلَكْتُمْ أَوْ قَطَعْتُمْ ظَهْرَ الرَّجُلِ  

"A man stood and praised one of the 'Amirs so Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad threw dust in his face and said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to throw dust in the faces of those who praise others.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2393)   

قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ يَحْثُو فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَحْثُوَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6094)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صَدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا  

[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  

[Machine] Ka'b and Bujair, the sons of Zuhair, came out and mentioned the story of Bujair's conversion to Islam and Ka'b's arrival to the Prophet ﷺ and his conversion, as well as reciting his poem, the beginning of which is "Sa'ad appeared, my heart today is smitten, infatuated by her, unable to be restrained. Sa'ad is not like the morning light, when they rose, as if a dense cloud that is dug into. She reveals the injustices when she smiles, as if a flowing spring in a cup that is filled. He mentioned the poem in its entirety, which consists of forty-eight verses, and in it I was informed that the Messenger of Allah promised me forgiveness. O Messenger of Allah, I have hope in your pardon. Give me respite, O Messenger of Allah, who gave you the unique Qur'an, in which there are admonitions and detailed explanations. Do not pay attention to the words of the ignorant. I have not committed a sin, even if the rumors about me increase. Indeed, the Messenger is a light by which one seeks illumination, and he is a sword wielded from the swords of Allah, unleashed against a group of Quraysh youth who said, when they embraced Islam, "They have gone astray." And Ibrahim ibn Al-Mundhir narrated to us, and Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to me, from Musa ibn 'Uqbah, who said that the Prophet ﷺ recited the poem of Ka'b ibn Zuhair, "Sa'ad appeared in his mosque in Madinah, and when he reached the words, 'The Messenger is a sword by which one seeks illumination, deadly among the swords of Allah, unleashed against a group of Quraysh youth who said, when they embraced Islam, "They have gone astray,"' the speaker, from among the Quraysh, said, 'When they embraced Islam, they went astray.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed to Makkah, indicating that they should shave their heads and come to him to hear from him."  

خَرَجَ كَعْبٌ وَبُجَيْرٌ ابْنَا زُهَيْرٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي إِسْلَامِ بُجَيْرٍ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شِعْرِ كَعْبٍ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قُدُومَ كَعْبٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِسْلَامَهُ وَإِنْشَادَهُ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي أَوَّلُهَا [البحر البسيط] بَانَتْ سُعَادُ فَقَلْبِي الْيَوْمَ مَتْبُولُ مُتَيَّمٌ عِنْدَهَا لَمْ يَغْدُ مَغْلُولُ وَمَا سُعَادُ غَدَاةَ الْبَيْنِ إِذْ ظَعَنُوا إِلَّا أَغَنُّ غَضِيضُ الطَّرْفِ مَكْحُولُ تَجْلُو عَوَارِضَ ذِي ظَلْمٍ إِذَا ابْتَسَمَتْ كَأَنَّهَا مَنْهَلٌ بِالْكَاسِ مَعْلُولُ وَذَكَرَ الْقَصِيدَةَ بِطُولِهَا وَهِيَ ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ بَيْتًا وفِيهَا أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْعَدَنِي وَالْعَفْوُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَأْمُولُ مَهْلًا رَسُولَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ نَافِلَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِيهِ مَوَاعِيظٌ وَتَفْصِيلُ لَا تَأْخُذَنَّ بِأَقْوَالِ الْوُشَاةِ وَلَمْ أُجْرِمْ وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ عَنِّي الْأَقَاوِيلُ إِنَّ الرَّسُولَ لَنُورٌ يُسْتَضَاءُ بِهِ وَصَارِمٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللهِ مَسْلُولُ فِي فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ قَائِلُهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ لَمَّا أَسْلَمُوا زُولُوا قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ أَنْشَدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَعْبُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ بَانَتْ سُعَادُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ قَوْلَهُ إِنَّ الرَّسُولَ لَسَيْفٌ يُسْتَضَاءُ بِهِ مُهَنَّدٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللهِ مَسْلُولُ فِي فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ قَائِلُهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ لَمَّا أَسْلَمُوا زُولُوا أَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ إِلَى الْحِلَقِ لِيَأْتَوا فَيَسْمَعُوا مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is better for one of you to have his stomach filled with pus rather than be filled with hair."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ أَحَدِكُمْ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is better for a man's belly to be filled with pus that he can see, rather than to be filled with hair."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ الرَّجُلِ قَيْحًا يَرِيَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا  

[Machine] While we were walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a barren land, a poet appeared reciting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Capture the devil or restrain the devil, as it is better for a man to have his belly full of pus than to have it full of poetry."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْعَرْجِ إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا  

[Machine] Did Aisha say that poetry was the most hated speech by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?  

لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ أَكَانَ يُنْشَدُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الشِّعْرُ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ أَبْغَضَ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَيْهِ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet SAW, he said: Wretched is the servant of the dinar (currency) and the dirham (currency), and the qatifa (a type of garment) and the khumaysa (a type of garment). If he is given, he is pleased; and if he is not given, he becomes displeased."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ وَالْقَطِيِفَةِ وَالْخُمَيْصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ لَمْ يَفِ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said: "Wretched is the servant of the Dinar, the servant of the Dirham, and the servant of the garment. If he is given, he is pleased, and if he is denied, he is displeased and despondent. And if he is afflicted with a hardship, he does not seek relief. And he mentions the Hadith (prophetic tradition)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَعَبْدُ الدِّرْهَمِ وَعَبْدُ الْخَمِيصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ مُنِعَ سَخِطَ تَعِسَ وَانْتَكَسَ وَإِذَا شِيكَ فَلَا انْتَقَشَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

Grant him permission. (and also added: ) He is a bad son of his tribe or he is a bad person of his tribe. When he came in he used kind words for him. 'A'isha reported that she said: Messenger of Allah, you said about him what you had to say and then you treated him with kindness. He said: A'isha, verily in the eye of Allah, worst amongst the person in rank on the Day of Resurrection is one whom the people abandon or desert out of the fear of indecency. (Using translation from Muslim 2591a)   

رَجُلًا اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ فَبِئْسَ رَجُلُ الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوْ بِئْسَ رَجُلُ الْعَشِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَلَانَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْتَ لَهُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ وَدَعَهُ أَوْ تَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ اتِّقَاءَ فُحْشِهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ took (a pledge) from us as he took from the women that we will not associate anything with Allah and we will not steal, and we will not commit adultery, and we will not kill our children, and we will not bring calumny upon one another. And he who amongst you fulfils (this pledge), his reward rests with Allah, and he upon whom amongst you is imposed the prescribed punishment and that is carried out, that is his expiation (for that sin), and he whose (sins) were covered by Allah, his matter rests with Allah. He may punish him if He likes or may forgive him if He so likes. (Using translation from Muslim 1709c)   

أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَخَذَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ أَنْ لَا نُشْرِكَ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا نَسْرِقَ وَلَا نَزْنِيَ وَلَا نَقْتُلَ أَوْلَادَنَا وَلَا يَعْضَهَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ أَتَى مِنْكُمْ حَدًّا فَأُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ وَمَنْ سَتَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "There are two things among people that are regarded as disbelief: wailing over the dead and slander about lineage."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثِنْتَانِ هِيَ فِي النَّاسِ كُفْرٌ نِيَاحَةٌ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ وَطَعْنٌ فِي النَّسَبِ  

[Machine] Osama bin Shareek heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "I have witnessed the Bedouins asking the Prophet ﷺ , 'Do we have any difficulty in doing this?' He ﷺ replied, 'O slaves of Allah! Allah has made things easy for you, and there is no difficulty except in that you take a loan from your brother and intend to pay him back, but find difficulty in doing so.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a servant can be given?' He ﷺ replied, 'Good character.'"  

سَمِعَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ شَرِيكٍ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ الْأَعْرَابَ يَسْأَلُونَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ فَقَالَ عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرَّجَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْعَبْدُ؟ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will find on the Day of Judgment the worst of people to be the two-faced ones, who come to these [people] with the words of those [people] and to those [people] with the words of these [people]."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَجِدُ شَرَّ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِيُ يَأْتِي هَؤُلَاءِ بِحَدِيثِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِحَدِيثِ هَؤُلَاءِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not appropriate for a person with two faces to be trustworthy."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِذِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِينًا  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who is two-faced in this world will have two tongues of fire on the Day of Resurrection. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4873)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ ذَا وَجْهَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَانَ لَهُ لِسَانَانِ مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] Shall I not inform you what backbiting is? It is the conveying of malicious talk among people. And indeed, Muhammad ﷺ said, "A man may speak the truth and it is recorded with Allah as a truthful statement, and a man may lie and it is recorded with Allah as a lie."  

أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ مَا الْعِضَةُ؟ هِيَ النَّمِيمَةُ الْقَالَةُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا  

from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Do you know what ʿi’ḍah (calumny, slander, or causing separation) is?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet said, "It is spreading news between people to ruin their relationships."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعِضَةُ؟» قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «نَقْلُ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ بَعْضِ النَّاسِ إِلَى بَعْضٍ لِيُفْسِدَ بَيْنَهُمْ»  

[Machine] We were sitting with Hudhayfah when a man passed by, and they said, "This man takes the conversation to Uthman." Hudhayfah then said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'A backbiter will not enter Paradise.'"  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالُوا هَذَا يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ ؓ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّاتٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When a man tells something and then departs, it is a trust. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4868)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ بِحَدِيثٍ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَهِيَ أَمَانَةٌ لَفْظَ حَدِيثِ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Meetings are confidential except three: those for the purpose of shedding blood unlawfully, or committing fornication, or acquiring property unjustly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4869)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَجَالِسُ بِالْأَمَانَةِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ مَجَالِسَ سَفْكُ دَمٍ حَرَامٍ أَوْ فَرْجٍ حَرَامٍ أَوِ اقْتِطَاعُ مَالٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: Messenger of Allah! What is back-biting? He replied: It is saying something about your brother which he would dislike. He was asked again: Tell me how the matter stands if what I say about my brother is true? He replied: If what you say of him is true, you have slandered him, and if what you say of him is not true, you have reviled him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4874)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ ؟ قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ قِيلَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people who have believed by their tongue, and Īmān (faith) has not ˹yet˺ entered their hearts, do not back-bite ˹your fellow˺ Muslims, and do not look for their faults. For if anyone hunts for the fault of his brother Muslim, Allah will ˹expose˺ his fault, and if Allah ˹exposes˺ the fault of anyone, He disgraces him even if he were to be in his house."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، لَا تَغْتَابُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ اتَّبَعَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ وَفَضَحَهُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ۔»  

"I do not like to talk about anyone, even if I were to get this or that." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2503)   

لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say concerning whom? He said, "I heard him say, 'How wretched is the company (or influence) of a man.'"  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي زَعَمُوا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ  

[Machine] He is called Abu Umair, it is said that the Prophet ﷺ used to joke with him. One day, when he came to joke with him, he found him sad. He said, "Why do I see Abu Umair sad?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, his little bird that he used to play with has died." So he called out to him, "O Abu Umair, what did the little bird do?"  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُبَّمَا يُمَازِحُهُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ يَوْمًا يُمَازِحُهُ فَوَجَدَهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَى أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ حَزِينًا ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ نُغَيْرُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِيهِ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! give me a mount. The Prophet ﷺ said: We shall give you a she-camel's child to ride on. He said: What shall I do with a she-camel's child? The Prophet ﷺ replied: Do any others than she-camels give birth to camels? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4998)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَحْمَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّا حَامِلُوكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الْإِبِلَ إِلَّا النُّوقُ  

The Prophet ﷺ addressed me as: O you with the two ears. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5002)   

قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا ذَا الْأُذُنَيْنِ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk, and he was in a secluded place made of adobe. I sat in the courtyard of the secluded place and greeted him. He returned the greeting and said, "Enter, O Awf!" So I asked, "Should I eat all of it or just part of it?" He said, "Eat all of it." So I entered.  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ فِي خِبَاءٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَجَلَسْتُ بِفِنَاءِ الْخِبَاءِ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ وَقَالَ ادْخُلْ يَا عَوْفُ فَقُلْتُ أَكُلِّي أَمْ بَعْضِي؟ قَالَ كُلُّكَ فَدَخَلْتُ 21171 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَهْ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ كُلِّي مِنْ صِغَرِ الْقُبَّةِ  

[Machine] And the Prophet ﷺ loved him and he was diligent. So one day, the Prophet ﷺ came to him while he was selling his merchandise and embraced him from behind without him seeing. He asked, "Who sent me this?" So he turned around and recognized the Prophet ﷺ , and he continued to cling to the Prophet's chest when he recognized him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will buy this slave?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, then by Allah, you will find me bankrupt." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But in the sight of Allah, you are not bankrupt." He continued to say, "But in the sight of Allah, you are valuable." Our sheikh did not confirm it, and there is disagreement about it. It was said that it was a belt, and it was said that it was forbidden. Abd al-Ghani al-Hafiz said it is forbidden with the letter 'raa' (R).  

وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحِبُّهُ وَكَانَ دَمِيمًا فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ فَقَالَ أَرْسِلْنِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَالْتَفَتَ فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْزَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ عَرَفَهُ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذًا وَاللهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ أَوْ قَالَ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ لَمْ يُثْبِتْهُ شَيْخُنَا وَفِيهِ خِلَافٌ فَقِيلَ حِزَامٌ وَقِيلَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْغَنِيِّ الْحَافِظُ حَرَامٌ بِالرَّاءِ أَصَحُّ
