ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ حَسُنَ خُلُقُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَانَ مِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Bedouins asking him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, do we have any hardship in such a matter? Do we have any hardship in such a matter?" concerning things that are not harmful. He ﷺ said, "O slaves of Allah, Allah has relieved us of the hardship, except for the one who wrongs a Muslim's honor. That is the one who has hardship and perishes." So they said, "Should we seek medical treatment, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said, "Yes, seek medical treatment, O slaves of Allah, for Allah Almighty has not created a disease except that He has also created its cure except for one disease." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He ﷺ said, "Old age." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a person can be given?" He ﷺ said, "Good manners."  

شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ لِأَشْيَاءَ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ فَقَالَ «عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ مِنْ عِرْضِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ» فَقَالُوا نَتَدَاوَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «الْهَرَمُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ»  

[Machine] We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ as if birds were perched on our heads. No one among us would speak until a man from the Bedouins came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, give us your advice. Give us your advice." He replied, "O people of the Bedouins, Allah has made hardship unnecessary except for those who borrow from their brothers with the condition of repaying it. That is the hardship that destroys people." They said, "Should we seek treatment, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes, indeed. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has not sent any disease except that He has also sent its cure, except for one disease." They said, "And what is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Old age." They asked, "Who are the best of Allah's servants?" He said, "Those with the best manners among them." Among them were Shu'ban bin Abdur-Rahman, Ziyad bin 'Ilaqah, and Zuhair bin Mu'awiyah Al-Ju'fi.  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرُ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنَّا مُتَكَلِّمٌ إِذْ جَاءَهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْتِنَا فِي كَذَا أَفْتِنَا فِي كَذَا فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ لِأَخِيهِ عِرْضًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ» قَالُوا أَفَنَتَدَاوَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا وَمَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْهَرَمُ» قَالُوا فَمَنْ أَحَبُّ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا» وَمِنْهُمْ شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ وَمِنْهُمْ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُعْفِيُّ  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ at Arafat and greeted him. He had a bird on his head and the Bedouins came to him from here and there saying, "O Messenger of Allah, we have difficulties in such and such." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, Allah removes difficulties except for those who unjustly oppress others by borrowing money. They are the ones who face difficulties and destruction." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we seek medical treatment?" He replied, "Seek medical treatment, for Allah has not sent down an illness without providing a cure for it except for old age." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that people are given?" He said, "People are not given anything better than good character."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ عَلَى رُءُوسِ أَصْحَابِهِ الطَّيْرُ فَجَاءَتْهُ الْأَعْرَابُ مِنْ هَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِبَادَ اللهِ رَفَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرَجَ وَهَلَكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً إِلَّا الْهَرَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ»  

[Machine] "We used to sit with the Prophet ﷺ as if there were birds on our heads speaking. One day, some people came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, give us a ruling on such and such.' He said, 'O people, Allah has made things easy for you, except for those who borrow from their brothers. That is the one who finds it difficult and gets ruined. Shouldn't I give you a cure, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it except for one disease.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is it?' He said, 'Old age.' They said, 'Who are the most beloved of Allah's slaves to Allah?' He said, 'The ones with the best character.'"  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرَ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنَّا مُتَكَلِّمٌ إِذْ جَاءَهُ أُنَاسٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفْتِنَا فِي كَذَا أَفْتِنَا فِي كَذَا فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَضَعَ اللهَ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ قَرْضًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ أَفَنَتَدَاوَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ الْهَرَمُ قَالُوا فَمَنْ أَحَبُّ عِبَادِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ؟ قَالَ «أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا»  

[Machine] I witnessed the Prophet (PBUH), and some people from the Bedouins came to him asking about their right and left. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, do we have any restrictions in this and that?" They repeated this question to him twice. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) then said, "Allah has not made any restrictions except for those who unjustly borrow from a Muslim. That is a restriction and a destruction." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, can we seek remedy for this and that?" They repeated this question to him twice. He said, "Yes, seek remedy, for Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent down a cure for it, except for death itself." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that people can be given?" He said, "Good manners."  

شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ وَضَعَ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا ظُلْمًا» أَوْ قَالَ بِظُلْمٍ فَذَلِكَ حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَتَدَاوَى مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ الْهَرَمُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ»  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Bedouins came from all directions, until they surrounded him, and the people became silent. They called out, "O Messenger of Allah, can you cure?" He replied, "Yes, indeed Allah has not created any disease except that He has also created its cure, except for one disease." They asked, "What is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Old age." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that can be given to a person?" He replied, "Good manners." They called out, "O Messenger of Allah, we face difficulties in various matters. What should be done about that?" He said, "O servants of Allah, Allah has not created any difficulty except for those who borrow from others, for that is what causes difficulty and loss."  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ الْأَعْرَابُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَحْوٍ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَكَتَ النَّاسُ فَنَادَوْا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ شِفَاءً غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْهَرَمُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ لِلْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ فَنَادَوْا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ مِمَّا يَكُونُ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ «يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضٍ امْرِئٍ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ»
