[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."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَعَلِّمْنَا شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُنَا اللهُ بِهِ قَالَ لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَلَوْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَتَسْبِيلَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَالْخُيَلَاءُ لَا يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ وَإِنْ امْرُؤٌ سَبَّكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلَا تَسُبَّهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَهُ لَكَ وَوَبَالَهُ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَهُ  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was wearing a cloak and its fringes had fallen on his feet. So, I said, 'Which one of you is Muhammad? Or is it the Messenger of Allah?' He pointed to himself with his hand, and I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am from the people of the desert and they treat me badly. Advise me.' He said, 'Do not belittle any act of kindness, even if you meet your brother with a cheerful face while you empty your bucket into his container to fetch water. And if someone insults you with something they know about you, do not insult them with something you know about them, for then it will be their burden and reward on you. And beware of letting your garment hang below your ankles, for indeed, letting the garment hang below the ankles is from arrogance. And Allah does not love arrogance. And do not abuse anyone, for I have not abused anyone since the day I was given revelation, and neither a sheep nor a camel."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٍ بِشَمْلَةٍ لَهُ وَقَدْ وَقَعَ هُدْبُهَا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ؟ أَوْ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ وَفِيَّ جَفَاؤُهُمْ فَأَوْصِنِي فَقَالَ لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَلَوْ أَنْتُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَإِنْ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَكَ أَجْرُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَلَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا فَمَا سَبَبْتُ بَعْدَهُ أَحَدًا وَلَا شَاةً وَلَا بَعِيرًا  

[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."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَعَلِّمْنَا شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُنَا اللَّهُ بِهِ فقَالَ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَلَوْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَلَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَهُ لَكَ وَوَبَالَهُ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَهُ»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was wearing a robe with its hem folded up and the edges of it were touching his feet. So I asked, "Which one of you is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah?" He pointed with his hand to himself. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I am from the Bedouin and I have mistreated them. Please advise me." He said, "Do not belittle any act of kindness, even if it is to meet your brother with a cheerful face. And even if you empty the water from your bucket into the drinking bowl of someone who seeks water. And if someone insults you with something that is true about you, do not insult him with what you know about him, for you will have the reward and he will bear the sin of it. And beware of letting your garment drag on the ground, for dragging the garment is a sign of arrogance. And indeed, Allah does not love arrogance. And do not curse anyone afterwards, for I have not cursed anyone, neither a sheep nor a camel."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٍ بِشَمْلَةٍ قَدْ وَقَعَ هُدْبُهَا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ وَفِيَّ جَفَاؤُهُمْ فَأَوْصِنِي؟ قَالَ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ مُبْسَطٌ وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا فِيكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَكَ أَجْرُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ» وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَلَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا فَمَا سَبَبْتُ بَعْدَهُ أَحَدًا وَلَا شَاةً وَلَا بَعِيرًا  

I saw a man whose opinion was accepted by the people, and whatever he said they submitted to it. I asked: Who is he? They said: This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: On you be peace, Messenger of Allah, twice. He said: Do not say "On you be peace," for "On you be peace" is a greeting for the dead, but say "Peace be upon you". I asked: You are the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon you)? He said: I am the Messenger of Allah Whom you call when a calamity befalls you and He removes it; when you suffer from drought and you call Him, He grows food for you; and when you are in a desolate land or in a desert and your she-camel strays and you call Him, He returns it to you. I said: Give me some advice. He said: Do not abuse anyone. He said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth. He said: Do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face. This is a good work. Have your lower garment halfway down your shin; if you cannot do it, have it up to the ankles. Beware of trailing the lower garment, for it is conceit and Allah does not like conceit. And if a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4084)   

قُلْتُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «لَا تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَيِّتِ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَإِذَا أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَسْهَلَ لَكَ قُلْتُ اعْهَدْ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا قَالَ «لَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا وَلَا تَحْقِرَنَّ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ وَارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبِيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا وَبَالُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, I asked him to advise me. He said, 'Do not curse anyone, do not belittle acts of kindness even if you speak to your brother while your face is relaxed towards him, or even if you empty your bucket in the vessel of one seeking rainwater, and perform the practice of tucking up your lower garment. If you refuse, then do it with your calves; and beware of draping the garment below the ankles, for indeed draping it below the ankles is an indication of arrogance. Surely, Allah does not love arrogance.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ «لَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا وَلَا تَزْهَدْ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ وَلَوْ أن تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِكَ وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ بِدَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَاتَّزِرْ إلى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فإن إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ»  

[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."  

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»
