Abu Hurairah said: A man came to the prophet ﷺ complaining against his neighbor. He said: go and have patience. He again came to him twice or thrice. He then said: Go and throw your property in the way. So he threw his property in the way and the people began to ask him and he would tell them about him. The people then began to curse him; may Allah do with him so and so! Then his neighbor came to him and said: Return, you will not see from me anything which you dislike.

حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْكُو جَارَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاصْبِرْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَتَاهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاطْرَحْ مَتَاعَكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ،‏‏‏‏ فَطَرَحَ مَتَاعَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ خَبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَلْعَنُونَهُ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَفَعَلَ وَفَعَلَ فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ جَارُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ ارْجِعْ لَا تَرَى مِنِّي شَيْئًا تَكْرَهُهُ".

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He who believes in Allah and in the last day should honour his guest; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should not harm his neighbor; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should speak good or keep silence.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ".

Aishah said: I asked: Messenger of Allah! I have two neighbors. With which of them should I begin? He replied: Begin with the one whose door is nearer to you. Abu Dawud said: Shubah said this tradition: Talhah is a man of the Quraish.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ "يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ لِي جَارَيْنِ بِأَيِّهِمَا أَبْدَأُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِأَدْنَاهُمَا بَابًا"،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ:‏‏‏‏ طَلْحَةُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The last words which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke were: Prayer, prayer; fear Allah about those whom your right hands possess.

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّعَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ".

Marur bin Suwaid said: I saw Abu Dharr at Rabadhah. He was wearing a thick cloak, and his slave also wore a similar one. He said: the people said: Abu Dharr! (it would be better) if you could take the cloak which your slave wore, and you combined that with, and it would be a pair of garments (hullah) and you would clothe him with another garment. He said: Abu Dharr said: I abused a man whose mother was a non-Arab and I reviled him for his mother. He complained against me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Abu Dharr! You are a man who has a characteristic of pre-Islamic days. He said: they are your brethren; Allah has given you superiority over them; sell those who do not please you and do not punish Allah’s creatures.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ غَلِيظٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَوْ كُنْتَ أَخَذْتَ الَّذِي عَلَى غُلَامِكَ فَجَعَلْتَهُ مَعَ هَذَا فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَ غُلَامَكَ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ سَابَبْتُ رَجُلًا وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فَضَّلَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ لَمْ يُلَائِمْكُمْ فَبِيعُوهُ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ".

Marur bin Suwaid said: We called on Abu Dharr at al-Rabadhah. He wore a cloak and his slave also wore a similar one. We said; Abu Dharr! If you took the cloak of your slave and combined it with your cloak, so that it could be a part of garments (hullah) and clothed him in another garment, (it would be better). He said; I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say; They are your brethren. Allah has put them under your authority; so he who has his brother under his authority must feed him from what he eats and clothe him with what he wears, and not impose on him work which is too much for him, but if he does so, he must help him. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Numair transmitted it from al-Amash in a similar way.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ مِثْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَوْ أَخَذْتَ بُرْدَ غُلَامِكَ إِلَى بُرْدِكَ فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَهُ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ قال:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ "إِخْوَانُكُمْ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ وَلْيَكْسُهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ وَلَا يُكَلِّفْهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ كَلَّفَهُ مَا يَغْلِبُهُ فَلْيُعِنْهُ"،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ:‏‏‏‏ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ نَحْوَهُ.

Abu Masud al-Ansari said: when I was beating a servant of mine, I heard a voice behind me saying: know, Abu Masud-Ibn al-Muthanna said: “twice”-that Allah has more power over you than you have over him. I turned round and saw that it was that it was the prophet ﷺ. I said: Messenger of Allah! He is free for Allah’s sake. He said: If you had not done it, fire would have burned you or the fire would have touched you.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ،‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ غُلَامًا لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ خَلْفِي صَوْتًا اعْلَمْ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى مَرَّتَيْنِ:‏‏‏‏ لَلَّهُ أَقْدَرُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ لَلَفَعَتْكَ النَّارُ أَوْ لَمَسَّتْكَ النَّارُ".

Narrated Abu Dharr: The Prophet ﷺ said: Feed those of your slaves who please you from what you eat and clothe them with what you clothe yourselves, but sell those who do not please you and do not punish Allah's creatures.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "مَنْ لَاءَمَكُمْ مِنْ مَمْلُوكِيكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَطْعِمُوهُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَاكْسُوهُ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ لَمْ يُلَائِمْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ فَبِيعُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ".

Narrated Rafi ibn Makith: The Prophet ﷺ said: Treating those under one's authority will produce prosperity, but an evil nature produces evil fortune.

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَعْضِ بَنِي رَافِعِ بْنِ مَكِيثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ مَكِيثٍ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "حُسْنُ الْمَلَكَةِ يُمْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُوءُ الْخُلُقِ شُؤْمٌ".

Narrated Rafi ibn Makith: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Treating those under one's authority well produces prosperity, but an evil nature produces evil fortune.
