nasai-kubra:9616Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Abū Hishām al-Mughīrah b. Salamah al-Makhzūmī > Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman / Thiqah > Salām b. Miskīn > ʿUqayl b. Ṭalḥah al-Sulamī > Abū Juray al-Hujaymī

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a people from the Badia (desert) and we would like for you to teach us a deed that may benefit us with it." He said, "Do not belittle any act of goodness, even if you were to empty your bucket into the vessel of the one collecting water, and even if you were to speak to your brother with a cheerful face, and beware of trailing your garment, for indeed this is from arrogance, and Allah does not love arrogance. And if a man insults you with something that he knows about you, do not insult him with something that you know about him. For indeed, his reward for that will be upon him, and his sin will be upon you."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٦١٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَامُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُقَيْلُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جُرَيٍّ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَنُحِبُّ أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنَا عَمَلًا لَعَلَّ اللهَ يَنْفَعُنَا بِهِ قَالَ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَلَوْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَتَسْبِيلَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَالْخُيَلَاءُ لَا يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ وَإِذَا سَبَّكَ رَجُلٌ بِمَا يَعْلَمُهُ فِيكَ فَلَا تَسُبَّهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَجْرُ ذَلِكَ لَكَ وَوَبَالُهُ عَلَيْهِ»

ahmad:20633Yazīd > Sallām b. Miskīn > ʿAqīl b. Ṭalḥah > Abū Jura al-Hujaymī

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a people from the desert, so teach us something that Allah may benefit us with." He ﷺ replied, "Do not belittle any good deed, even if it is just scooping water from your bucket into the vessel of someone seeking water. And if you speak to your brother, face him with a relaxed countenance. And beware of dragging your garment, for it is from pride, and Allah does not love pride. And if a person insults you for something they know about you, do not insult them for something you know about them. Surely, the reward is yours and the harm is upon the one who said it."

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a people from the desert. Teach us something that will benefit us with Allah." He said, "Do not belittle any good deed, even if it is pouring the water from your bucket into the vessel of someone seeking water. And if you talk to your brother with a relaxed face while facing him, and beware of dragging your garment below the ankles, for it is from arrogance and Allah does not like it. And if someone speaks ill of you with something that he knows about you, do not retaliate with something that you know about him, for his reward will be upon you and his sin will be upon him."

"لَا تَسُبَّنَ أَحَدًا، وَلَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيهِ وَجْهُكَ، إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ، وَارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ، فَإِنْ أَبَيتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَين، وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَال الإِزَارِ، فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ، وَالله لا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ، فَإِنْ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ وَعَيَّرَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ، فَلَا تُعَيِّرْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ، فَإِنَّمَا وَبَالُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيهِ".
