Umm Kulthum, the daughter of 'Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt, reported that
she heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
say, "Someone who makes peace between people by saying something good or
relates something good is not a liar."
'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "You must be truthful. Truthfulness leads to dutifulness
and dutifulness leads to the Garden. A man continues to tell the truth
until he is written as a siddiq with Allah. Beware of lying. Lying leads
to deviance and deviance leads to the Fire. A man continues to lie until
he is written as a liar with Allah."
'Abdullah said, "Lying is not correct, neither
in seriousness nor in jest. None of you should promise his child something
and then not give it to him."
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "The believer who mixes with people and endures their
injury is better than the person who does not mix with people nor endure
their injury."
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الَّذِي لاَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَلاَ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ.
Abu Musa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "No one - nothing - is more patient in enduring
an injury which he hears than Allah Almighty. They claim that He has a
son, and yet He still cures them and provides for them."
'Abdullah said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, swore an oath like one of the oaths that people swear and a man
of the Ansar said, 'By Allah, it is not an oath by which the Face of Allah
Almighty is desired." I said, 'I will tell the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace. I went to him while he was with his Companions
and I spoke to him in confidence. It clearly affected him greatly, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his face changed colour so that
I wished that I had not told him. Then he said, 'Musa was injured with
greater than that and he endured it.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا يَقُولُ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِسْمَةً، كَبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ يَقْسِمُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ: وَاللَّهِ، إِنَّهَا لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، قُلْتُ أَنَا: لَأَقُولَنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَسَارَرْتُهُ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، وَغَضِبَ، حَتَّى وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَدْ أُوذِيَ مُوسَى بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَبَرَ.
Abu'd-Darda' reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you a degree better than prayer, fasting
and sadaqa?" "Yes," they replied. He went to say, Improving a state of
friendship. Causing discord in a state of friendship is what shaves things
away."
"Fear Allah and put things right between
you," (8:1), Ibn 'Abbas said, "This is an injunction from Allah to
the believers to fear Allah and to put things right between them."
Sufyan ibn Usayd al-Hadrami reported that he heard the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "It is great treachery to
tell something to your brother so that he believes you when you are lying
to him."
Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not dispute with your brother. Do not make fun of him. Do not make a promise to him and then break it."
A woman called Fusayla said that she heard her father say, "I asked,
'Messenger of Allah, is it part of disobedience for a man to help his people
in something which is unjust?' 'Yes,' he replied."
