Abu'l-Malih reported from one of his people (who was a Companion)
that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When
Allah wants one of His slaves to die in some land, he makes him have a
reason for going there."
Muhammad ibn Sirin related that Abu Hurayra blew his nose in his
garment and then said, "Squirt! Squirt! Abu Hurayra blows his nose
in linen. You saw me lying between 'A'isha's room and the minbar
when people said I was crazy, but I was only hungry."
Abu Hurayra related, "Some people said, 'Messenger of Allah, we
feel in ourselves something which we do not want to speak about and we
have been in that state since sunrise.' He said, 'Have you really felt
like that?' 'Yes,' they said. He said, 'That is clear belief.'"
Shahr ibn Hawshab said, "Me and my maternal aunt visited 'A'isha
and said, 'Sometimes something occurs to one of us such that, if he had
spoken about it, that would have been the end of his hopes for the Next
World. If it were to be revealed, he would be killed for it.' She said
the takbir three times and then said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was asked about that and said, "If that
happens to one of you, he should say the takbir three times. Only a believer
feels that.'"
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'People will continue to ask about things
that do not exist to such an extent that they will say, "Allah created
everything, so who created Allah?"'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Beware of suspicion. Suspicion is the worst type of lie. Do not spy. Do not fight one another. Do not try
to ensnare one another (in sales). Do not envy each other. Do not hate one another. Be slaves of
Allah and brothers."
Anas said, "While the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was with one of his wives, a man passed by and the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, called him and said, 'So-and-so, this
is my wife so-and-so.' The man said, 'Whoever I might suspect, I would
not suspect you!' The Prophet said, 'Shaytan flows in the son of Adam like
blood flows.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ، فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: يَا فُلاَنُ، إِنَّ هَذِهِ زَوْجَتِي فُلاَنَةٌ، قَالَ: مَنْ كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ بِهِ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ بِكَ، قَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ.
Bilal ibn Sa'd al-Ash'ari related that Mu'awiya wrote to Abu Dharr,
"Write down for me the deviants of Damascus." Abu Dharr said, "What do
I have to do with the deviants of Damascus and how would I know them?"
His son Bilal said, "I will write them," so he wrote them. Abu Dharr said,
"How do you know? You would only know that they are deviants if you were
one of them. Begin with yourself and do not send their names."
'Abdul-'Aziz ibn Qays said, "I visited 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar while
a slavegirl was shaving his hair." He said, "The limestone depilatory makes
the skin supple."
Abu't-Tufayl reported, "I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, divide the meat at al-Ji'rana. At that time, I was
a boy who carried the joint of the camel (after it had been sacrificed).
A woman came to him and he spread out his robe for her. I asked, 'Who is
this?' The reply was, 'This is the woman who suckled him.'"
Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba reported that a man said, "May Allah make
the amir thrive! Your chamberlain recognises certain men and gives them
preference in permission to enter." He said, "May Allah excuse him! Recognition is beneficial (dealing) with a vicious dog and attacking camel."
Abu 'Uqba said, "I once walked along the road with Ibn 'Umar.
I passed some Abyssinian lads who were playing and he brought out two dirhams
which he gave to them."
Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, saw a man following a dove and said, 'A shaytan following
a shaytan.'"
حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً يَتْبَعُ حَمَامَةً، قَالَ: شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانَةً.
Zayd ibn Thabit reported that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to him
to ask to see him one day and he gave him permission while his head was
in the hands of a slavegirl of his who was combing his hair. He removed
his head and 'Umar said to him, 'Let her comb it.' He said, 'Amir al-Mu'minin,
if you were to send for me, I would come to you.' ''Umar said, 'It is my
need.'"
Abu Hurayra said, "When someone spits in the presence of people,
let him catch it with his palms so that his spit does not fall on the ground.
When he fasts, he should oil his palm so that the trace of the fast is
not seen on him."
