Chapter on what has been related concerning avarice.
أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ، وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ:
ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi qāla: ʾakhbaranā yaḥyā qāla: ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu qāla : ʾakhbaranā ʿabdu Allāhi bnu al-mubāraki qāla: ʾakhbaranā sufyānu bnu ʿuyaynata, qāla al-ḥusaynu, waḥaddathanāhu sufyānu, ʿan ʾisrāʾīla ʾabī mūsā qāla: samiʿtu al-ḥasana yaqūlu:
Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna informed us. Al-Ḥusayn said: Sufyān also related it to us, from Isrāʾīl Abū Mūsā, who said: I heard al-Ḥasan say:
«وَاللَّهِ، مَا لَقِيَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الشُّحِّ مَا لَقِيَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ، وَمَا وُعِظَتْ أُمَّةٌ بِمِثْلِ مَا وُعِظَتْ بِهِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ.
«wa-llāhi, mā laqiyat ʾummatun mina al-shuḥḥi mā laqiyat hādhihi al-ʾummatu, wamā wuʿiẓat ʾummatun bimithli mā wuʿiẓat bihi hādhihi al-ʾummatu.
‘By God, no community has encountered such avarice as this community has, and no community has been admonished with anything like the admonition given to this community.’
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَوَّلِيَّتَهُمْ، وَتَبَاذُلَهُمْ، وَتَعَاطُفَهُمْ، وَتَرَاحُمَهُمْ، وَاللَّهِ، مَا وُعِظَتْ أُمَّةٌ بِمِثْلِ مَا وُعِظَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ، وَمَا لَقِيَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الشُّحِّ مَا لَقِيَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَكْسِرُ عَظْمَ أَخِيهِ عَظْمًا عَظْمًا، هَاتِ دِرْهَمًا، هَاتِ دِرْهَمًا، وَهَذَا عَاضٌّ عَلَيْهِ، وَهَذَا مُلِحٌّ عَلَيْهِ»
thumma dhakara ʾawwaliyyatahum, watabādhulahum, wataʿāṭufahum, watarāḥumahum, wa-llāhi, mā wuʿiẓat ʾummatun bimithli mā wuʿiẓat hādhihi al-ʾummatu, wamā laqiyat ʾummatun mina al-shuḥḥi mā laqiyat hādhihi al-ʾummatu, ḥattā ʾinna ʾaḥadahum layaksiru ʿaẓma ʾakhīhi ʿaẓman ʿaẓman, hāti dirhaman, hāti dirhaman, wahādhā ʿāḍḍun ʿalayhi, wahādhā muliḥḥun ʿalayhi»
He then recalled their earliest generation—their mutual generosity, sympathy, and mercy—and said: ‘By God, no community has been admonished as this community has, and no community has encountered such avarice as this community has. One of them will even break his brother’s bone, bone by bone, demanding, “Give me a dirham! Give me a dirham!”—one clinging tightly to it and the other pressing him relentlessly.’
٦٥٨ - قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «الْإِسْلَامُ، وَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ قَلْبُكَ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَأَنْ يَسْلَمَ مِنْكَ كُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ وَذِي عَهْدٍ»
658 - qāla: wasamiʿtuhu yaqūlu: «al-ʾislāmu, wamā al-ʾislāmu? ʾan yuslima qalbuka lillāhi taʿālā, waʾan yaslama minka kullu muslimin wadhī ʿahdin»
658 — He said: I also heard him say: ‘Islam—and what is Islam? It is that your heart surrender to God Most High, and that every Muslim and every person under covenant be safe from you.’
٦٥٩ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَخْلُفُ الرَّجُلَ فِي أَهْلِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ»

659 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Sufyān informed us, from Hishām, from al-Ḥasan, who said: ‘A man would continue caring for another man’s family for forty years after his death.’
٦٦٠ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: “ يَلْقَى أَحَدُهُمْ صَاحِبَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اِغْفِرْ لَنَا، وَلَهُ، وَأَدْخِلْنَا وَإِيَّاهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِذَا كَانَ عَبْدَ الدِّرْهَمِ فَهَيْهَاتَ ”
660 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi qāla: ʾakhbaranā yaḥyā qāla: ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu qāla: ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki qāla: ʾakhbaranā maʿmarun, ʿani al-ḥasani qāla: “ yalqā ʾaḥaduhum ṣāḥibahu, fayaqūlu: Allāhumma ighfir lanā, walahu, waʾadkhilnā waʾiyyāhu al-jannata, waʾidhā kāna ʿabda al-dirhami fahayhāta ”
660 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Maʿmar informed us, from al-Ḥasan, who said: ‘One of them meets his companion and says, “O God, forgive us and him, and admit us and him into Paradise.” But when he is a slave of the dirham—how far removed he is from that!’
٦٦١ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: “ مَا أَنْصَفَ إِخْوَانُنَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ؛ يُحِبُّونَنَا فِي اللَّهِ، وَيُفَارِقُونَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا، إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ قَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَإِذَا اِحْتَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ اِمْتَنَعَ مِنِّي، وَكَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ مَفَرَّ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ إِلَيْنَا عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَلَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَفِرَّ إِلَيْهِمْ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ، إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَقُولُ: لَيْتَنِي صُعْلُوكٌ مِنْ صَعَالِيكِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ”
661 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi qāla: ʾakhbaranā yaḥyā qāla: ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu qāla : ʾakhbaranā ʿabdu Allāhi, ʿan ṣafwāna qāla: samiʿtu ʿabda al-raḥmāni bna jubayrin yaqūlu: qāla ʾabū al-dardāʾi: “ mā ʾanṣafa ʾikhwānunā al-ʾaghniyāʾu; yuḥibbūnanā fī Allāhi, wayufāriqūnanā fī al-dunyā, ʾidhā laqītuhu qāla: ʾuḥibbuka yā ʾabā al-dardāʾi, faʾidhā iḥtajtu ʾilayhi fī shayʾin imtanaʿa minnī, wakāna ʾabū al-dardāʾi yaqūlu: al-ḥamdu lillāhi al-ladhī jaʿala mafarra al-ʾaghniyāʾi ʾilaynā ʿinda al-mawti, walā nuḥibbu ʾan nafirra ʾilayhim ʿinda al-mawti, ʾinna ʾaḥadahum layaqūlu: laytanī ṣuʿlūkun min ṣaʿālīki al-muhājirīna ”
661 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us, from Ṣafwān, who said: I heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr say that Abū al-Dardāʾ said: ‘Our wealthy brothers have not treated us fairly: they love us for God’s sake yet part company with us in worldly matters. When I meet one of them, he says, “I love you, Abū al-Dardāʾ,” but if I need something from him, he withholds it from me.’ Abū al-Dardāʾ also used to say: ‘Praise be to God, who made the wealthy flee to us at death, while we have no wish to flee to them at death. One of them will surely say, “If only I had been a poor man among the poor Emigrants!”’
٦٦٢ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ، إِنَّ بِهِ حَاجَتَهُ، إِنَّ بِهِ عِلَّتَهُ، يَفْرَحُ لِفَرَحِهِ، وَيَحْزَنُ لِحُزْنِهِ، وَهُوَ مِرْآةُ أَخِيهِ، إِنْ رَأَى مِنْهُ مَا لَا يُعْجِبُهُ سَدَّدَهُ وَقَوَّمَهُ، وَوَجَّهَهُ، وَحَاطَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ، إِنَّ لَكَ مِنْ خَلِيلِكَ نَصِيبًا، وَإِنَّ لَكَ نَصِيبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ، فَتَنَقُّوا الْإِخْوَانَ وَالْأَصْحَابَ وَالْمَجَالِسَ»

662 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Maʿmar informed us, from Yaḥyā ibn al-Mukhtār, from al-Ḥasan, who said: ‘The believer is a branch of the believer: he feels his need and shares his affliction; he rejoices at his joy and grieves at his sorrow. He is his brother’s mirror: if he sees in him something displeasing, he sets him right, corrects him, directs him, and protects him in private and in public. You receive a share from your intimate friend, and you receive a share from the reputation of the one you love. Therefore choose your brothers, companions, and gatherings carefully.’
٦٦٣ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: كَانَ الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ سَرِيعٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَنْ قَصَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ - يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ - وَكَانَ يَقُصُّ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ: “ فَعَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ يَوْمًا فَاشْتَهَرَهُمْ أَهْلُ مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَقْبَلَ مُجَالِدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَوَسَّعُوا لَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا جِئْتُ لِأَجْلِسَ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُلَسَاءَ صِدْقٍ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُكُمْ، فَاشْتَهَرَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمَا أَنْكَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ، قَالُوا: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ نَقْبَلُ نَصِيحَتَكَ ”

663 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; al-Mubārak ibn Faḍāla informed us, from al-Ḥasan, who said: Al-Aswad ibn Sarīʿ was among the first to preach in the mosque—meaning the mosque of Basra—and he would preach at its rear. One day their voices rose, drawing the attention of those at the front of the mosque. Mujālid ibn Masʿūd al-Sulamī came and stood over them. They made room for him, but he said: ‘I have not come to sit, though you are fine companions. Your voices have risen and attracted the notice of the people of the mosque. Beware of anything the Muslims disapprove of—may God have mercy on you.’ They replied: ‘May God have mercy on you. We accept your counsel.’
٦٦٤ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ - وَكَانَ قَاضِيًا قَبْلَ شُرَيْحٍ - سُئِلَ عَنْ فَرِيضَةٍ، فَأَخْطَأَ فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ: الْقَضَاءُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَكَأَنَّهُ أَيْ غَضِبَ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، وَكَانَ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ،

664 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Sufyān informed us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Murra, from ʿAmr ibn Shuraḥbīl: Salmān ibn Rabīʿa—who served as judge before Shurayḥ—was asked about a prescribed share and gave an incorrect answer. ʿAmr ibn Shuraḥbīl told him, ‘The ruling is such-and-such,’ whereupon he seemed to become angry. The matter was reported to Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī, who governed Kufa.
فَقَالَ: " يَا سَلْمَانُ، كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ لَا تَغْضَبَ، وَأَنْتَ يَا عَمْرُو كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تُسَاوِرَهُ فِي أُذُنِهِ.
faqāla: " yā salmānu, kāna yanbaghī laka ʾan lā taghḍaba, waʾanta yā ʿamru kāna yanbaghī laka ʾan tusāwirahu fī ʾudhunihi.
He said: ‘Salmān, you ought not to have become angry. And you, ʿAmr, ought to have whispered it in his ear.’
تَعْنِي أَنْ تُسَاوِدَهُ
taʿnī ʾan tusāwidahu
That is, he meant that ʿAmr should have spoken privately to him. [The source reads تُسَاوِرَهُ, then glosses it with تُسَاوِدَهُ; both are retained.]

He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us, from Maʿmar, from Yaḥyā ibn al-Mukhtār, from al-Ḥasan, who said: ‘Love with moderation and hate with moderation. Some people went to excess in loving others and were ruined; others went to excess in hating people and were ruined. Do not go to excess in either your love or your hatred. Whoever finds a covering over his brother should not uncover it. Do not spy on your brother—you have been forbidden to spy on him—do not dig into his affairs, and do not recoil from him.’

A man of the Anṣār appeared, his beard dripping with water from his ablution and his sandals hanging from his left hand.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» ، فَاطَّلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَرْتَبَتِهِ الْأُولَى،

When the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, rose, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ followed the man and said: ‘I quarreled with my father and swore not to enter his home for three nights. If you would take me in until my oath has run its course, please do so.’ He agreed.

Anas said that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr related that he stayed with him for three nights but did not see him rise for any night prayer. Whenever the man turned in his bed, however, he remembered God and magnified Him until he arose for the dawn prayer, when he performed his ablution thoroughly. ʿAbd Allāh said: ‘I heard him speak nothing but good.’
فَلَمَّا مَضَتِ الثَّلَاثُ اللَّيَالِي، وَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَحْتَقِرَ عَمَلَهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ وَالِدِي غَضَبٌ، وَلَا هَجْرٌ، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ مَجَالِسَ: «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» ، فَاطَّلَعْتَ أَنْتَ فِي تِلْكَ الثَّلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آوِيَ إِلَيْكَ؛ فَأَنْظُرَ مَا عَمَلُكَ؟ فَأَقْتَدِيَ بِكَ، فَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَعْمَلُ كَبِيرَ عَمَلٍ، فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟

When the three nights passed, I was close to thinking little of his deeds, so I said: ‘Servant of God, there was no anger or estrangement between my father and me. Rather, I heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, say of you three times in three gatherings, “A man from the people of Paradise will now appear before you,” and on each occasion you appeared. I wanted to stay with you so that I could see what you do and follow your example, yet I did not see you perform any great deed. What has brought you to the rank the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, described?’
قَالَ: مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ،

He replied, ‘It is only what you have seen.’
فَانْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ، دَعَانِي، وَقَالَ: مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي غِلًّا لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَلَا أَحْسِدُهُ عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: هَذِهِ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْ بِكَ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَا نُطِيقُ

I turned to leave, but when I had gone away, the man called me back and said: ‘It is only what you have seen, except that I harbor no rancor in my heart against any Muslim, nor do I envy anyone for some good God has given him.’ ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr told him: ‘This is what has brought you there—and it is precisely what we cannot manage.’

‘They are people from scattered families and people drawn from different tribes, with no close kinship connecting them. They loved one another for God and were sincere to one another for His sake. On the Day of Resurrection God will set up pulpits of light for them, seat them upon them, and make their faces light and their garments light. People will be terrified on the Day of Resurrection, but they will not be terrified. They are the friends of God: no fear will be upon them, nor will they grieve.’

I do not think it had reached his collarbones before he said: ‘Praise belongs to God, who has clothed me with that by which I cover my nakedness and adorn myself in my life.’
ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَتَدْرُونَ لِمَ قُلْتُ هَذَا؟ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا بِثِيَابٍ لَهُ جُدُدٍ فَلَبِسَهَا، فَلَا أَحْسِبُهَا بَلَغَتْ تَرَاقِيَهُ حَتَّى قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتُ،

He then asked: ‘Do you know why I said this? I saw the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, call for new clothes of his and put them on. I do not think they had reached his collarbones before he said what I have just said.’
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا جَدِيدًا، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتُ، ثُمَّ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى سَمَلٍ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِهِ الَّتِي وَضَعَ، فَيَكْسُوهُ إِنْسَانًا مِسْكِينًا، فَقِيرًا مُسْلِمًا، لَا يَكْسُوهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، إِلَّا كَانَ فِي حِرْزِ اللَّهِ، وَفِي ضَمَانِ اللَّهِ، وَفِي جِوَارِ اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا سِلْكٌ وَاحِدٌ، حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا، حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا» ثَلَاثًا

He then said: ‘By Him in whose hand is my soul, no Muslim servant puts on a new garment, says what I have said, and then takes a worn piece from among his old clothes that he had laid aside and clothes a poor, needy Muslim with it solely for the sake of God, Almighty and Majestic, without remaining in God’s protection, God’s guarantee, and God’s shelter for as long as a single thread of it remains upon that person—whether he is alive or dead, whether he is alive or dead.’ He repeated it three times.

The angel said: ‘Messenger of God, God Most High gives you the choice between being a servant-prophet and being a king-prophet.’ The Prophet turned toward Gabriel as though consulting him, and Gabriel gestured with his hand that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, should humble himself. The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘No—rather, I will be a servant-prophet.’ After that statement, he never ate food while reclining until he met his Lord, Almighty and Majestic.

Such people do not call themselves to account.’

A servant-girl brought him a tray of Ṣayḥānī dates, and he liked dates. He scooped some up in both hands and asked: ‘Maslama, suppose a man ate these and then drank water—for water after dates is pleasant—would it sustain him until night?’ I replied, ‘I do not know.’ He scooped up more and asked, ‘What about this much?’ I replied, ‘Yes, Commander of the Faithful. Less than this would sustain him so well that he would not mind tasting no other food.’ He said: ‘Then for what does one enter the Fire?’ Maslama said: ‘No admonition ever affected me as this one did.’

If he offers the other peace and the other does not return his greeting, the angels return peace to the first, while Satan answers the other. If they both die while estranged, they will not both enter Paradise’—I think he said—‘ever.’

He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Maʿmar informed us, from Yaḥyā ibn al-Mukhtār, from al-Ḥasan, who said: ‘Slaves and children with no knowledge of its interpretation have recited this Qurʾān. They have not sought the matter from its beginning. God, glorified and exalted, said: “A blessed Book that We sent down to you, so that they may ponder its verses” [Qurʾān 38:29]. Pondering its verses means following it—by God, as He knows. By God, it is not memorizing its letters while neglecting its limits. One of them will say, “I have recited the entire Qurʾān without dropping a single letter,” when, by God, he has dropped all of it: the Qurʾān is visible neither in his character nor his conduct. One of them will even say, “I recite a sūra in a single breath.” By God, such people are neither reciters, scholars, sages, nor scrupulous believers. Since when were reciters like this? May God not multiply their likes among the people.’

Whoever recites the Qurʾān and supposes that any of God’s creatures has been given something better than what he has been given has belittled what God made great and magnified what God belittled. It does not befit the bearer of the Qurʾān to behave ignorantly among those who behave ignorantly, nor to rage among those who rage; rather, he should pardon and overlook.’

The man drank a draught from the Tigris, and Salmān told him, ‘Drink again.’ He replied, ‘I have had my fill.’ Salmān asked, ‘Do you think this draught of yours diminished it in any way?’ The man replied, ‘What could a draught I drank diminish?’ Salmān said: ‘Knowledge is like that: it does not run out. So pursue—or he said, seek—from knowledge what benefits you.’ He then traveled until he reached the river of Dan, where heaps were being winnowed and provisions lay about. He said: ‘Brother of Banū ʿAbs, the One who opened this for you, bestowed it upon you, and provided it to you surely possessed its treasuries while Muḥammad, God bless him and grant him peace, was alive; yet they would reach evening and morning without a single ṣāʿ of food among them.’ He mentioned what God had opened to the Muslims at Jalūlāʾ, then said: ‘Brother of Banū ʿAbs, the One who opened this for you and bestowed it upon you surely possessed its treasuries while Muḥammad, God bless him and grant him peace, was alive; yet they would reach evening and morning without a dinar or dirham among them.’

The man repeated the question three times, and each time the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, remained silent. He then asked, ‘Who is the questioner?’ The man replied, ‘Here I am, Messenger of God.’ Tapping with his two fingers, he said: ‘Whatever your heart rejects, leave it.’

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَلَّمًا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَوْفٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا مُحَلَّمُ، إِذَا أَنْتَ وَرَدْتَ فَارْجِعْ إِلَيْنَا، وَأَخْبِرْنَا بِالَّذِي صُنِعَ بِكَ» ، قَالَ مُحَلَّمٌ: إِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَكُونُ لِمِثْلِي فَعَلْتُ،
thumma ʾinna muḥallaman ḥaḍarahu al-mawtu, faʾaqbala ʿalayhi ʿawfun, faqāla lahu: «yā muḥallamu, ʾidhā ʾanta waradta farjiʿ ʾilaynā, waʾakhbirnā bi-alladhī ṣuniʿa bika» , qāla muḥallamun: ʾin kāna dhālika yakūnu limithlī faʿaltu,
When death came to Muḥallam, ʿAwf approached him and said: ‘Muḥallam, when you arrive there, return to us and tell us what was done with you.’ Muḥallam replied: ‘If such a thing can happen for someone like me, I will do so.’
فَقُبِضَ مُحَلَّمٌ، ثُمَّ ثَوَى عَوْفٌ بَعْدَهُ عَامًا، فَرَآهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مُحَلَّمُ، مَا صَنَعْتَ؟» - أَوْ مَا صُنِعَ بِكُمْ؟ - فَقَالَ لَهُ: وُفِّينَا أُجُورَنَا، قَالَ: «كُلُّكُمْ؟» قَالَ: كُلُّنَا، إِلَّا خَوَاصَّ هَلَكُوا فِي الْيَسِيرِ، الَّذِينَ يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْأَصَابِعِ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ وُفِّيتُ أَجْرِي كُلَّهُ، حَتَّى وُفِّيتُ أَجْرَ هِرَّةٍ ضَلَّتْ لِأَهْلِي قَبْلَ وَفَاتِي بِلَيْلَةٍ،
faqubiḍa muḥallamun, thumma thawā ʿawfun baʿdahu ʿāman, faraʾāhu fī al-manāmi, faqāla: «yā muḥallamu, mā ṣanaʿta?» - ʾaw mā ṣuniʿa bikum? - faqāla lahu: wuffīnā ʾujūranā, qāla: «kullukum?» qāla: kullunā, ʾillā khawāṣṣa halakū fī al-yasīri, al-ladhīna yushāru ʾilayhim bi-l-ʾaṣābiʿi, wa-llāhi laqad wuffītu ʾajrī kullahu, ḥattā wuffītu ʾajra hirratin ḍallat liʾahlī qabla wafātī bilaylatin,
Muḥallam died, and ʿAwf remained after him for a year. Then he saw him in a dream and asked: ‘Muḥallam, what did you do?’—or, ‘What was done with you?’ He replied: ‘We were paid our rewards in full.’ ʿAwf asked: ‘All of you?’ He replied: ‘All of us, except certain notable people who perished over small matters—those at whom fingers are pointed. By God, I was paid my entire reward, even the reward concerning a cat belonging to my family that went missing one night before my death.’
فَأَصْبَحَ عَوْفٌ، فَغَدَا عَلَى اِمْرَأَةِ مُحَلَّمٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَتْ: مَرْحَبًا، زَوْرٌ مُغِبٌّ بَعْدَ مُحَلَّمٍ، فَقَالَ عَوْفٌ: «هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مُحَلَّمًا مُنْذُ تُوُفِّيَ؟» قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، رَأَيْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ، وَنَازَعَنِي اِبْنَتِي؛ لِيَذْهَبَ بِهَا مَعَهُ،
faʾaṣbaḥa ʿawfun, faghadā ʿalā imraʾati muḥallamin, falammā dakhala qālat: marḥaban, zawrun mughibbun baʿda muḥallamin, faqāla ʿawfun: «hal raʾayti muḥallaman mundhu tuwuffiya?» qālat: naʿam, raʾaytu al-bāriḥata, wanāzaʿanī ibnatī; liyadhhaba bihā maʿahu,
In the morning, ʿAwf went to Muḥallam’s wife. When he entered, she said: ‘Welcome—a visitor returning after a long absence since Muḥallam!’ ʿAwf asked: ‘Have you seen Muḥallam since he died?’ She replied: ‘Yes, I saw him last night. He struggled with me over my daughter, intending to take her away with him.’
فَأَخْبَرَهَا عَوْفٌ بِالَّذِي رَأَى، وَبِمَا ذَكَرَ مِنَ الْهِرَّةِ الَّتِي ضَلَّتْ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا عِلْمَ لِي بِذَلِكَ، خَدَمِي أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ، فَدَعَتْ خَدَمَهَا، فَسَأَلَتْهُمْ، فَأَخْبَرُوهَا: أَنَّهُمْ ضَلَّتْ لَهُمْ هِرَّةٌ قَبْلَ قَبْضِ مُحَلَّمٍ بِلَيْلَةٍ
faʾakhbarahā ʿawfun bi-alladhī raʾā, wabimā dhakara mina al-hirrati al-latī ḍallat, faqālat: lā ʿilma lī bidhālika, khadamī ʾaʿlamu bidhālika, fadaʿat khadamahā, fasaʾalathum, faʾakhbarūhā: ʾannahum ḍallat lahum hirratun qabla qabḍi muḥallamin bilaylatin
ʿAwf told her what he had seen and what Muḥallam had mentioned about the missing cat. She said: ‘I know nothing about that; my servants know better.’ She summoned them and asked, and they told her that a cat of theirs had gone missing one night before Muḥallam’s death.

He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd ibn Aslam informed us, from his father, who used to describe ostentation by saying: ‘Whatever arises from your own self and your self approves for itself comes from your self, so reproach it.
وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ فَكَرِهَتْهُ نَفْسُكَ لَهَا، فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ» ، وَكَانَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
wamā kāna min nafsika fakarihathu nafsuka lahā, faʾinnahu mina al-shayṭāni, fataʿawwadh bi-llāhi minhu» , wakāna ʾabū ḥāzimin yaqūlu dhālika
Whatever arises from your self but your self dislikes for itself comes from Satan, so seek refuge in God from it.’ Abū Ḥāzim used to say the same.

If you say, “Our bellies are larger than those birds’,” then look at these wild cattle and donkeys: they go out morning and evening, neither plowing nor harvesting, yet God provides for them. Guard yourselves against the world’s excess, for the world’s excess is an abomination in God’s sight.’

In Damascus there was a solitary man among the Anṣār who were Companions of the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, called Ibn al-Ḥanẓaliyya. He seldom sat with people; he occupied himself with prayer, and when he finished, with magnifying, glorifying, and declaring God’s oneness until he reached home.
فَمَرَّ بِنَا يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: كَلِمَةً تَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا تَضُرُّكَ،

One day he passed us while we were with Abū al-Dardāʾ and greeted us. Abū al-Dardāʾ said, ‘A word that will benefit us and not harm you.’
فَقَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى إِخْوَانِكُمْ، فَأَصْلِحُوا لِبَاسَكُمْ وَأَصْلِحُوا رِحَالَكُمْ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا كَأَنَّكُمْ شَامَةٌ فِي النَّاسِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَالتَّفَحُّشَ»

He replied: ‘The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, told us: You are going to your brothers, so put your clothing and your riding gear in good order, until you appear like a beauty mark among the people. God does not love obscenity or deliberately obscene conduct.’

قَالَ: فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَفْدًا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ، هَلْ سَقَطَ إِلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَرَنٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ؟

A man said to Uways: “The Commander of the Faithful mentioned you, yet you never told us about that.” Uways replied: “There was nothing in his mentioning me by which I needed to seek standing among you.”

He fell ill, and al-Ṣunābiḥī approached. ʿUbāda said: “Whoever would be pleased to look upon a man who seems to have been raised above seven heavens, and then acted according to what he saw, should look at this man.”
فَلَمَّا اِنْتَهَى الصُّنَابِحِيُّ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ عُبَادَةُ: «لَئِنْ سُئِلْتُ عَنْكَ لَأَشْهَدَنَّ لَكَ، وَلَئِنْ شُفِّعْتُ لَأَشْفَعَنَّ لَكَ، وَلَئِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتُ لَأَنْفَعَنَّكَ» .

When al-Ṣunābiḥī reached him, ʿUbāda said: “If I am asked about you, I will certainly testify in your favor; if I am granted intercession, I will certainly intercede for you; and if I am able, I will certainly benefit you.”

وَأُسَيْرٌ هَذَا يُسَمِّيهِ أَهْلُ الْبَصْرَةِ أُسَيْرَ بْنَ جَابِرٍ، وَيُسَمِّيهِ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ يُسَيْرَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، وَيُقَالُ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ»

By God, if I am able, I will surely make the two of them a single concern.’ Al-Ḥasan said: By God, he did so until he met God.

Al-Ḥasan replied: ‘God has not produced that state among us.’

قَالَ: «وَسَأَلَ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ شَهْوَةَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَكَانَ لَا يُبَالِي أَذَكَرًا لَقِيَ أَمْ أُنْثَى،

He said: ‘He asked his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, to remove desire for women from his heart, until he no longer cared whether the person he met was male or female.
وَسَأَلَ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ قَلْبَهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ»
wasaʾala rabbahu ʿazza wajalla ʾan yamnaʿa qalbahu mina al-shayṭāni, wahuwa fī al-ṣalāti falam yaqdir ʿalayhi»
He also asked his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, to protect his heart from Satan while he was praying, and Satan was unable to gain mastery over it.’

Whenever he met a needy person, he gave to him. When he entered his home, he cast what remained before his family; they counted it and found it equal to the amount originally given to him.

863 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Mustalim ibn Saʿīd al-Wāsiṭī informed us. He said: Ḥammād ibn Jaʿfar ibn Zayd—he thought he said ‘al-ʿAbdī’—informed us that his father told him: We set out on an expedition to Kabul, and Ṣila ibn Ashyam was in the army. The people camped at nightfall. I said, ‘I will watch his practice and see the worship people speak of.’ He prayed the night prayer and lay down, waiting until people were inattentive. When I thought every eye had grown still, he sprang up, entered a thicket near us, and I followed him. He performed ablution, stood, and began to pray.
قَالَ: وَجَاءَ أَسَدٌ حَتَّى دَنَا مِنْهُ فَصَعِدْتُ فِي شَجَرَةٍ، أَفَتَرَاهُ عَذَّبَهُ حَرِدًا حَتَّى سَجَدَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: الْآنَ يَفْتَرِسُهُ، فَلَا شَيْءَ،

He said: A lion came and drew near him, so I climbed a tree. I wondered whether it would attack him in anger while he remained prostrate. I thought, ‘Now it will devour him,’ but nothing happened.
فَجَلَسَ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا السَّبُعُ، اُطْلُبِ الرِّزْقَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ آخَرَ، فَوَلَّى وَإِنَّ لَهُ لَزَئِيرًا، أَقُولُ: تَصَّدَّعُ الْجِبَالُ مِنْهُ،

Ṣila sat up, concluded the prayer, and said, ‘Wild beast, seek your provision elsewhere.’ It turned away with such a roar that, I say, the mountains might have split from it.

He continued praying in this way until near dawn. Then he sat and praised God with praises unlike any I had heard, except as God willed. He said: ‘O God, I ask You to protect me from the Fire. Would someone like me dare ask You for Paradise?’ He returned looking as though he had spent the night on soft bedding, while I awoke with a weariness whose extent God alone knew.

When we drew near enemy territory, the commander ordered that no one stray from the army. Ṣila’s mule went off carrying his baggage, and he began to pray. They told him, ‘The people have gone.’ He went on, then said, ‘Let me pray two cycles.’ They again said, ‘The people have gone.’ He replied, ‘They will be brief.’ He supplicated: ‘O God, I adjure You to return my mule and its load to me.’
فَجَاءَ حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا لَقِيَنَا الْعَدُوُّ، حَمَلَ هُوَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، فَصَنَعْنَا بِهِمْ صَنِيعًا ضَرْبًا، وَقَتْلًا، فَكَسَرَا ذَلِكَ الْعَدُوَّ، وَقَالُوا: رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ صَنَعَا بِنَا هَذَا، فَكَيْفَ لَوْ قَاتَلُونَا؟ فَأَعْطُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَاجَتَهُمْ،

The mule came and stood before him. When we met the enemy, he and Hishām ibn ʿĀmir charged. We dealt them a severe blow in fighting and killing, and the two men broke that enemy. They said, ‘Two Arab men have done this to us—what if all of them fought us?’ So they granted the Muslims what they sought.

Abū Hurayra was told that Hishām ibn ʿĀmir—who used to sit with him—had thrown himself into destruction, and his story was related. Abū Hurayra said: ‘No. Rather, he sought the fulfillment of this verse: {Among the people is one who sells himself seeking God’s good pleasure, and God is most kind to His servants} [al-Baqara 2:207].’

He said: It reached us that the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘There will be in my community a man called Ṣila ibn Ashyam. Through his intercession such-and-such a number will enter Paradise.’

865 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim informed us. He said: Ḥumayd ibn Hilāl related to us, from Ṣila ibn Ashyam al-ʿAdawī, who said: ‘I went out among some villages along the Nahr Tīrī, riding my animal when the waters were flooding. I traveled along an embankment all day without finding anything to eat, and hunger became severe.
فَلَقِيَنِي عِلْجٌ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ شَيْئًا، فَقُلْتُ: ضَعْهُ، فَوَضَعَهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ جُبْنٌ، فَقُلْتُ: أَطْعِمْنِي مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنْ شِئْتَ، وَلَكِنْ فِيهِ شَحْمُ خِنْزِيرٍ، فَلَمَّا قَالَ: ذَلِكَ تَرَكْتُهُ وَمَضَيْتُ،

I met a non-Arab man carrying something on his neck. I told him to put it down, and it proved to be cheese. I asked him to feed me some. He said, “Yes, if you wish, but it contains pig fat.” When he said that, I left it and went on.

Then I met another man carrying food on his neck and asked him to feed me. He replied, “I provisioned myself with this for so many days; if you take any, you will harm me and leave me hungry.” So I left him and continued.

By God, while I was traveling I heard behind me a thud like the fluttering of a bird—that is, the sound of its flight. I turned and saw something wrapped in a white sibb, meaning a head-covering. I dismounted and found a basket of fresh dates at a season when there were no fresh dates in the land. I ate from it and had never tasted fresher dates more delicious. I drank water, wrapped what remained, mounted my horse, and carried the date stones with me.’

866 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā informed us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allāh related to us, from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, from Maʿqil ibn Yasār, who said: My first acquaintance with ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAnbarī came when I saw him near the open ground of Banū Sulaym, as it was described to me. He was mounted, and a protected non-Muslim was being wronged. ʿĀmir forbade it. When they refused, he said: ‘You lie! By God, God’s covenant of protection shall not be violated today while I am present.’
قَالَ: فَتَخَلَّصَهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَتَيْتُهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ عَامِرًا لَا يَأْكُلُ السَّمْنَ، وَلَا يَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ، وَلَا يَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، وَلَا تَمَسُّ بَشْرَتُهُ بَشْرَةَ أَحَدٍ، وَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي مِثْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،

He rescued the man from them. Later I went to ʿĀmir at his home. People used to say that he ate neither clarified butter nor meat, did not marry women, allowed no one’s skin to touch his, and said, ‘I am like Abraham.’
فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ بُرْنُسٍ حَتَّى أَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَقُلْتُ: هَذِهِ وَاحِدَةٌ،

When I entered, he drew his hand from beneath a hooded cloak and took my hand. I thought, ‘That is one claim disproved.’
فَلَمَّا تَحَدَّثْنَا، قُلْتُ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ، وَلَا تَأْكُلُ السَّمْنَ، وَلَا تَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، وَتَقُولُ: إِنِّي مِثْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟

After we had spoken, I said: ‘People say that you eat neither meat nor clarified butter, do not marry women, and say, “I am like Abraham.”’
قَالَ: “ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُمْ: إِنِّي لَا آكُلُ اللَّحْمَ، فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ صَنَعُوا فِي الذَّبَائِحِ شَيْئًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ؟ فَإِذَا اِشْتَهَيْتُ اللَّحْمَ أَمَرْنَا بِشَاةٍ، فَاشْتُرِيَتْ لَنَا، فَذَبَحْنَاهَا، وَأَكَلْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُمْ: إِنِّي لَا آكُلُ السَّمْنَ، فَإِنِّي لَا آكُلُ مَا يَجِيءُ مِنْ هَهُنَا، وَآكِلُ مَا يَجِيءُ مِنْ هَهُنَا،

He replied: ‘As for their claim that I do not eat meat, these people have introduced into slaughtering something whose nature I do not know. When I desire meat, we order a sheep, buy it, slaughter it ourselves, and eat its meat. As for their claim that I do not eat clarified butter, I do not eat what comes from this direction, but I do eat what comes from that direction.
وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُمْ: إِنِّي لَا أَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ نَفْسٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، لَقَدْ كَادَتْ أَنْ تَغْلِبَنِي، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُمْ: إِنِّي مِثْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَإِنِّي قُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي اللَّهُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَالشُّهَدَاءِ، وَالصَّالِحِينَ ”

As for their claim that I do not marry women, it is only this single soul of mine, and it nearly overcomes me. As for their claim that I say, “I am like Abraham,” what I said was: “I hope that God will place me with the prophets, the utterly truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous.”’

He said: Bilāl ibn Saʿd related to me that ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd Qays was denounced to Ziyād—another transmitter said, to Ibn ʿĀmir. He was told: ‘There is a man here to whom people say, “Abraham is no better than you,” and he remains silent; he has also forsaken women.’ He wrote about him to ʿUthmān, who ordered: ‘Expel him to Syria on a bare camel-saddle.’
فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ الْكِتَابُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَامِرٍ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَكَ: مَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ، فَتَسْكُتُ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا سُكُوتِي إِلَّا تَعَجُّبًا، لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ غُبَارًا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ بِيَ الْجَنَّةَ

When the letter arrived, he summoned ʿĀmir and asked, ‘Are you the man who is told, “Abraham is no better than you,” and remains silent?’ He replied: ‘By God, my silence was only from astonishment. I wish I had been dust upon Abraham’s feet, so that he might enter Paradise with me clinging to him.’
قَالَ: وَلِمَ تَرَكْتَ النِّسَاءَ؟ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهُنَّ إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهَا مَتَى تَكُونُ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ وَلَدٌ، وَمَتَى يَكُونُ وَلَدٌ تَشَعَّبَتِ الدُّنْيَا قَلْبِي، فَأَحْبَبْتُ التَّخَلِّيَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،

He asked, ‘Why have you forsaken women?’ ʿĀmir said: ‘By God, I forsook them only because I knew that whenever there is a wife, there may be a child, and whenever there is a child, the world branches out through my heart. I wished to be free of that.’

He exiled him to Syria on a bare saddle. When he arrived, Muʿāwiya lodged him with him in al-Khaḍrāʾ and sent him a maidservant, instructing her to report his condition to Muʿāwiya. He would leave before dawn and she would not see him until after nightfall. Muʿāwiya sent him food, but he touched none of it. He brought pieces of bread, soaked them in water, ate them, drank the water, and then stood in prayer until he heard the call. He went out and was not seen again until the same time the following night.

Muʿāwiya wrote to ʿUthmān describing his state. ʿUthmān replied: ‘Make him the first to enter and the last to leave, and assign him ten slaves and ten riding animals.’ Muʿāwiya summoned him and said, ‘The Commander of the Faithful has ordered me to give you ten slaves.’ ʿĀmir said: ‘One devil has already overcome me; how could I gather ten more upon myself?’

Muʿāwiya said: ‘He has also assigned you ten riding animals.’ ʿĀmir replied: ‘I own a single mule, and I fear that God, Mighty and Majestic, will question me on the Day of Resurrection about even its spare carrying capacity.’ Muʿāwiya said: ‘He ordered me to make you the first to enter and the last to leave.’ ʿĀmir replied: ‘I have no need of that.’
قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَ بِلَالُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَمَّا رَآهُ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ تِلْكَ، يَرْكَبُهَا عُقْبَةً، وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا الْمُهَاجِرِينَ عُقْبَةً،

Bilāl ibn Saʿd then related what he saw in Byzantine territory: ʿĀmir rode that mule by turns and used it to carry the Emigrants by turns.
قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا بِلَالُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ عَامِرًا كَانَ إِذَا فَصَلَ غَازِيًا وَقَفَ يَتَوَسَّمُ الرِّفَاقَ، فَإِنْ رَأَى رِفْقَةً تُوَافِقُهُ قَالَ: يَا هَؤُلَاءِ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَصْحَبَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تُعْطُونِي مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ ثَلَاثَ خِلَالٍ، فَيَقُولُونَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: أَكُونُ لَكُمْ خَادِمًا لَا يُنَازِعُنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ الْخِدْمَةَ، وَأَكُونُ مُؤَذِّنًا لَا يُنَازِعُنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ الْأَذَانَ، وَأُنْفِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِقَدْرِ طَاقَتِي؟ فَإِذَا قَالُوا لَهُ: نَعَمْ، اِنْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَإِنْ نَازَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ، اِرْتَحَلَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ

Bilāl ibn Saʿd also related that whenever ʿĀmir set out on campaign, he stopped and examined the traveling groups. If he found a company suited to him, he said: ‘I wish to accompany you on condition that you grant me three things.’ They asked what they were. He replied: ‘I shall serve you, and none of you shall compete with me in service; I shall call the prayer, and none shall compete with me in the call; and I shall spend on you according to my means.’ If they agreed, he joined them. If anyone contested any of these duties, he left them for another group.

The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, stood for as long as God willed without approaching. The man then put on his clothes, came to him, and greeted him.

He said: ‘O God, make their provision mindfulness of You.’ They asked for more, and he said: ‘Set their relations with one another right.’

He returned from a military detachment in which he had campaigned. When he arrived home, he ate his evening meal, asked for water, performed ablution, and stood in his prayer-place. He recited one sūra, then another.

He remained there, beginning a new sūra whenever he completed one, until the caller announced the prayer before dawn. He fastened his clothes around himself.

His wife came and said: ‘Abū Rayḥāna, you went campaigning and were absent, then returned to me, yet I have received no share or portion of your attention.’ He replied: ‘Indeed. By God, you did not occur to my mind; had I remembered you, you would have had a right over me.’
قَالَتْ: فَمَا الَّذِي يَشْغَلُكَ يَا أَبَا رَيْحَانَةَ؟ قَالَ: «لَمْ يَزَلْ يَهْوَى قَلْبِي فِيمَا وَصَفَ اللَّهُ فِي جَنَّتِهِ مِنْ لِبَاسِهَا، وَأَزْوَاجِهَا، وَنَعِيمِهَا، وَلَذَّاتِهَا حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ»

She asked: ‘What occupied you, Abū Rayḥāna?’ He replied: ‘My heart continued longing for what God has described of the clothing, spouses, bliss, and delights in His Paradise, until I heard the caller to prayer.’

Permission was granted. The governor asked, ‘How long shall I give you?’ He replied: ‘One night.’

Abū Rayḥāna set out; his home was in Jerusalem. Before going to his family, he began at the mosque, opened a sūra and recited it, then another. He continued until dawn overtook him while still in the mosque; he had not left it or gone to his family.
فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ دَعَا بِدَابَّتِهِ، فَرَكِبَهَا مُتَوَجِّهًا إِلَى مَسْلَحَتِهِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا أَبَا رَيْحَانَةَ، إِنَّمَا اِسْتَأْذَنْتَ لِتَأْتِيَ أَهْلَكَ، فَلَوْ مَضَيْتَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفَ إِلَى صَاحِبِكَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَجَّلَنِي أَمِيرِي لَيْلَةً، وَقَدْ مَضَتْ، لَا أَكْذِبُ، وَلَا أُخْلِفُ» ، وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَسْلَحَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِ أَهْلَهُ

At morning he summoned his mount and rode back toward his guard-post. He was told: ‘Abū Rayḥāna, you asked leave to visit your family. Why not go to them and then return to your commander?’ He replied: ‘My commander gave me one night, and it has passed. I will neither lie nor break my promise.’ He returned to his guard-post without visiting his family.

He said: Ḥabīb ibn ʿUbayd related to me that Abū Rayḥāna was stationed on the frontier at Mayyāfāriqīn in al-Jazīra. He bought a halter from a local Nabataean for a few copper coins. He set out for home and forgot to pay its owner until he reached the pass of al-Rastan—Abū Bakr said it was twelve miles from Ḥimṣ.
فَذَكَرَهَا، فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ: هَلْ دَفَعْتَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الرَّسَنِ فُلُوسَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا، فَنَزَلَ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ، وَاسْتَخْرَجَ نَفَقَةً مِنْ نَفَقَتِهِ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى غُلَامِهِ، وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «أَحْسِنُوا مُعَاوَنَتَهُ عَلَى دَوَابِّي حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَهْلِي» ،

When he remembered, he asked his servant: ‘Did you give the owner of the halter his coins?’ The servant said no. Abū Rayḥāna dismounted, took travel money from his provisions, gave it to his servant, and told his companions: ‘Help him care well for my animals until he reaches my family.’
قَالُوا: وَمَا الَّذِي تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْصَرِفُ إِلَى بَيِّعِي؛ حَتَّى أَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ فُلُوسَهُ، فَأُؤَدِّي أَمَانَتِي» ،

They asked what he intended. He replied: ‘I am returning to my seller so I can give him his coins and discharge my trust.’

فَرَفَعَ ضَبْعَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو: «اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهَا لَهُمْ فِتْنَةً، إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى اِنْقَطَعَ عَنْهُمْ صَوْتُهُ، لَا يَدْرُونَ مَتَى كَفَّ

He raised his upper arms and kept praying, ‘O God, do not make it a trial for them; You have power over all things.’ He continued until they could no longer hear his voice and did not know when he stopped.

He said: I heard al-Ḥasan say: Abū al-Aḥwaṣ informed me: We entered upon ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd. With him were young sons of his, as beautiful as gold coins, and we began marveling at their beauty.
فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «كَأَنَّكُمْ تَغْبِطُونَ بِهِمْ» ، قُلْنَا: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ يُغْبَطُ بِهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ،

ʿAbd Allāh said: ‘You seem to envy me for them.’ We replied: ‘By God, a Muslim man is rightly envied for children like these.’
فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى سَقْفِ بَيْتٍ لَهُ قَصِيرٍ، قَدْ عَشْعَشَ فِيهِ الْخُطَّافُ وَبَاضَ، فَقَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لِأَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ نَفَضْتُ يَدَيَّ عَنْ تُرَابِ قُبُورِهِمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَخِرَّ عُشُّ هَذَا الْخُطَّافِ فَيَنْكَسِرَ بَيْضُهُ»

He raised his head toward the low roof of his house, where a swallow had nested and laid eggs, and said: ‘By Him in whose hand is my soul, I would rather have already shaken the dust of their graves from my hands than have this swallow’s nest fall and its eggs break.’

He replied: ‘I fear more that it will miss them than that it will strike them.’

فَأَرَاهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ طَعْنَةً خَرَجَتْ فِي كَفِّهِ، فَتَكَابَرَ شَأْنُهَا فِي نَفْسِ الْحَارِثِ، وَفَرِقَ مِنْهَا حِينَ رَآهَا ، فَأَقْسَمَ لَهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ بِاللَّهِ مَا يُحِبُّ أَنَّ لَهُ مَكَانَهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ»

Abū ʿUbayda showed him a plague sore that had appeared in his palm. Its gravity seemed immense to al-Ḥārith, and he was frightened when he saw it. Abū ʿUbayda ibn al-Jarrāḥ swore by God that he would not wish to possess red camels in place of that sore.’

He said: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Jaʿfar related to me that it reached him from Abū Rayḥāna, the Companion of the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, who said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said to me: ‘What will you do, Abū Rayḥāna, if you pass people who have set up an animal and are shooting arrows at it, and you tell them, “The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, has forbidden this,” but they answer, “Recite to us the Qurʾānic verse that mentions it”?’
فَمَرَّ أَبُو رَيْحَانَةَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَرْمُونَهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ هَذَا، فَقَالُوا: اِقْرَأْ عَلَيْنَا الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا هَذَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو رَيْحَانَةَ: صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، تَأْكُلُونَهَا قِمَارًا حَرَامًا وَمَيْتَةً لَا تُذْبَحُ

Abū Rayḥāna later passed people who had set up a chicken and were shooting at it. He told them: ‘The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, has forbidden this.’ They replied: ‘Recite to us the verse that mentions it.’ Abū Rayḥāna said: ‘God and His Messenger spoke the truth. You consume it as unlawful gambling and as carrion that has not been properly slaughtered.’
