حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" يَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا أَلْقَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ " .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Allah the Glorified, says: ‘Pride is My cloak and greatness My
robe, and whoever competes with Me with regard to either of them, I
shall throw him into Hell.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ دَرَّاجًا، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" مَنْ يَتَوَاضَعْ لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ دَرَجَةً يَرْفَعْهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَمَنْ يَتَكَبَّرْ عَلَى اللَّهِ دَرَجَةً يَضَعْهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُ فِي أَسْفَلِ السَّافِلِينَ " .
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Whoever humbles himself one degree for the sake of Allah, Allah
will raise him in status one degree, and whoever behaves arrogantly
towards Allah one degree, Allah will lower him in status one degree,
until He makes him among the lowest of the low.”

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، وَسَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الأَمَةُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَمَا يَنْزِعُ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهَا حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ بِهِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَاجَتِهَا .
It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said:
“If a female slave among
the
people of Al-Madinah were to take the hand of the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ), he would not take his hand away from hers until she had
taken
him wherever she wanted in Al-Madinah so that her needs may be
met.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَعُودُ الْمَرِيضَ وَيُشَيِّعُ الْجِنَازَةَ وَيُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الْمَمْلُوكِ وَيَرْكَبُ الْحِمَارَ وَكَانَ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَيَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ مَخْطُومٍ بِرَسَنٍ مِنْ لِيفٍ وَتَحْتَهُ إِكَافٌ مِنْ لِيفٍ " .

“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
used to visit the sick, attend funerals, accept the invitations
of
slaves and ride donkeys. On the day (of the battle) of Quraizah and
Nadir, he was riding a donkey. On the day of Khaibar he was riding a
donkey that was bridled with palmfibers and beneath him was a
packsaddle made of palmfibers.”
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْحُومٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" مَنْ كَظَمَ غَيْظًا وَهُوَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَنْ يُنْفِذَهُ دَعَاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلاَئِقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُخَيِّرَهُ فِي أَىِّ الْحُورِ شَاءَ " .
It was
narrated from Sahl bin Mu’adh bin Anas, from his father, that
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever restrains his anger when
he
is able to implement it, Allah will call him before all of creation
on the Day of Resurrection, and will give him his choice of any houri
that he wants.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " أَتَتْكُمْ وُفُودُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ " . وَمَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءُوا فَنَزَلُوا فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَبَقِيَ الأَشَجُّ الْعَصَرِيُّ فَجَاءَ بَعْدُ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلاً فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَوَضَعَ ثِيَابَهُ جَانِبًا ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " يَا أَشَجُّ إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخَصْلَتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ الْحِلْمَ وَالتُّؤَدَةَ " . قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَشَىْءٌ جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ شَىْءٌ حَدَثَ لِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " بَلَ شَىْءٌ جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ " .
Abu
Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:
“We were sitting with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) and he said: ‘The delegations of ‘Abdul-Qais have
come to
you,’ and no one had seen anyone. While we were like that,
they came
and alighted. They came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and
Ashajj
‘Ansari was left behind. He came afterwards, and halted at
the
halting-place, made his she-camel kneel down, and changed of his
traveling clothes, then he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: ‘O Ashajj, you have two
characteristics that Allah likes: Forbearance and deliberation.’ He
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, was I born with them or are they
acquired?’ He said: ‘No, rather it is something that you were
born
with.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“I
see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The
heaven
is creaking and it should creak, for there is no space in it
the
width of four fingers but there is an angel there, prostrating to
Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and
weep much, and you would never enjoy women in your beds, and you
would
go out in the streets, beseeching Allah.’”
‘Amir
bin ‘Abdullah bin Zubair narrated that his father told him that
there was no more than four years between their becoming Muslim and
the revelation of this Verse, by which Allah reprimanded them:
“Lest
they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term
was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of
them were rebellious.” [57:16]
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ " . فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا} فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ .
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me:
‘Recite Qur’an to me,’ so I recited Surat An-Nisa’ to him,
and when I
reached (the Verse): “How (will it be) then, when We
bring forth from
each nation a witness and We bring you as a witness
against these
people?” [4:41] I looked at him, and his eyes were
filled with tears.”
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ فَبَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ الثَّرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ
" يَا إِخْوَانِي لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَأَعِدُّوا " .
It was
narrated that Bara’ said:
“We were with the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) at a funeral, and he sat at the edge of the grave weeping,
until
the ground became wet. Then he said: ‘O my brothers, prepare
yourselves for something like this.’”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“There is no believing slave who sheds tears, even if
they
are like the head of a fly, out of fear of Allah, and they roll
down
his cheeks, but Allah will forbid him to the Fire.”
“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
‘And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also
do
other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear.” [23:60] Is
this the
one who commits adultery, steals and drinks alcohol?’ He
said: ‘No, O
daughter of Abu Bakr’ – O daughter of Siddiq –
rather it is a man who
fasts and gives charity and prays, but he
fears that those will not be
accepted from him.’”
Chapter 20: Protecting (one's) deeds (by fearing their non-acceptance) - كتاب الزهد
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ رَبٍّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ
" إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ كَالْوِعَاءِ إِذَا طَابَ أَسْفَلُهُ طَابَ أَعْلاَهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ فَسَدَ أَعْلاَهُ " .
Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
say: ‘Deeds are like vessels. If the lower part is good then
the upper
part will be good, and if the lower part is bad then the
upper part
will be bad.’”
