43. Book of Impermissible and Permissible
٤٣۔ كِتَابُ الْحَظْرِ وَالْإِبَاحَةِ
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَمْزَحَ مَعَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ بِمَا لَا يُحَرِّمُهُ الْكِتَابُ وَالسُّنَّةُ
[Machine] It is said that Zaher ibn Haram used to bring gifts to the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would prepare himself when he wanted to go out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Zaher is one of our adherents and we will testify for him." The Prophet ﷺ came to him while he was selling his merchandise and embraced him from behind, and the man could not see him. He asked, "Who sent me this?" So he turned to him, and when he recognized that it was the Prophet ﷺ , he pressed his back against his chest. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will buy this slave?" Zaher said, "You will find me, O Messenger of Allah, breaking away (from him)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "But you are not seen as such in the sight of Allah, rather you are valued."
يُقَالُ لَهُ زَاهِرُ بْنُ حَرَامٍ كَانَ يُهْدِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْهَدِيَّةَ فَيُجَهِّزُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ زَاهِرًا بَادِينَا وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُوهُ» قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَالرَّجُلُ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ فَقَالَ أَرْسِلْنِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَعَلَ يُلْزِقُ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا الْعَبْدَ»؟ فَقَالَ زَاهِرٌ تَجِدُنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَاسِدًا قَالَ «لَكِنَّكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ» أَوْ قَالَ ﷺ «بَلْ أَنْتَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ غَالٍ»
ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ الْمِزَاحِ لِمَنْ وَثِقَ بِدِينِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ظَاهِرُ قَوْلِهِ بَشِعًا فِي الذِّكْرِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw a young orphan girl at Umm Sulaim's house. Umm Sulaim is the mother of Anas ibn Malik. The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "You have grown up, may Allah bless your life." Umm Sulaim responded, "O Messenger of Allah, you have invoked a blessing upon my orphan girl, so may Allah never let her resemble a goat in appearance." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Umm Sulaim, do you not know that I have made a covenant with my Lord that anyone from my ummah whom I invoke blessings upon, even if they are not from their own family, Allah will make them a means of purification or nearness to Him on the Day of Resurrection?"
رَأَى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَارِيَةً يَتِيمَةً عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَهِيَ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَقَدْ شِبْتِ لَا أَشَبَّ اللَّهُ قَرْنَكِ» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لَقَدْ دَعَوْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى يَتِيمَتِي أَنْ لَا يُشِبَّ اللَّهُ قَرْنَهَا فَوَاللَّهِ لَا تَشِبُّ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أَوَ مَا عَلِمْتِ أَنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ عِنْدَ رَبِّي عَهْدًا أَيُّمَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا لَهُ طَهُورًا أَوْ قُرْبَةً يُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ »
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِقِلَّةِ الضَّحِكِ، وَكَثْرَةِ الْبُكَاءِ
“If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4191)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ إِفْرَاطِ الْمَرْءِ فِي الضَّحِكِ إِذْ كَثْرَتُهُ لَا تُحْمَدُ عَاقِبَتُهُ
“If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4191)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ ضَحِكِ الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ الصَّوْتِ مِنْ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ
" When the basest of them broke forth with mischief" (xei. 12). When A mischievous person, strong even because of the strength of a family like Abu Zam'a, broke forth. He then delivered instruction in regard to the women saying: There is amongst you who beats his woman, and in the narration on the authority of Abu Bakr, the words are: He flogs her like a slave-girl. And in the narration of Abu Kuraib (the words are): He flogs like a slave and then comforts his bed with the help of that at the end of the day, and he then advised in regard to laughing of people at the breaking of wind and said: One of you laughs at that which you yourself do. (Using translation from Muslim 2855)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ النَّاقَةَ وَمَنْ عَقَرَهَا فَقَالَ «{إِذِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا} انْبَعَثَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ عَارِمٌ عَزِيزٌ مَنِيعٌ فِي رَهْطِهِ مِثْلُ أَبِي زَمْعَةَ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا لِمَ يَجْلِدُ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَتَهُ جَلْدَ الْعَبْدِ وَلَعَلَّهُ يُضَاجِعُهَا فِي آخِرِ يَوْمِهِ» ثُمَّ وَعَظَهُمْ فِي الضَّحِكِ مِنَ الضَّرْطَةِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا لِمَ يَضْحَكُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِمَّا يَفْعَلُ؟! »
