حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ (٣) فُصَيْلٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ أَوْ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ـ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ ـ أَوْ قَالَ: أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ ـ؟ فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ "، قَالَ: فَإِلَامَ تَدْعُو؟ قَالَ: " أَدْعُو إِلَى اللهِ وَحْدَهُ، مَنْ إِذَا كَانَ بِكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ، وَمَنْ إِذَا أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَنْبَتَ لَكَ، وَمَنْ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي أَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ فَأَضْلَلْتَ فَدَعَوْتَهُ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ "، قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَوْصِنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ: " لَا تَسُبَّنَّ شَيْئًا " ـ أَوْ قَالَ أَحَدًا: شَكَّ الْحَكَمُ ـ قَالَ: فَمَا سَبَبْتُ شَيْئًا بَعِيرًا، وَلَا شَاةً مُنْذُ، ، أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " وَلَا تَزْهَدْ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ، وَلَوْ بِبَسْطِ وَجْهِكَ إِلَى أَخِيكَ وَأَنْتَ تُكَلِّمُهُ، وَأَفْرِغْ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي، وَاتَّزِرْ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ، وَاللهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was present in the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came and addressing the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Are you the Messenger of Allah?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" He asked, "What do you invite to?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I invite to Allah, Who is One. Tell me, who is that Being that when a calamity befalls you and you call upon Him, He removes your calamity? Who is He that when you are afflicted with drought and you supplicate to Him, He brings forth produce? Who is He that when you lose your way in a desert or wilderness and you supplicate to Him, He brings you back?" Hearing this, that person became Muslim and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Advise me." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not curse anything." He says that after that, I never cursed even a camel or a goat since the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) advised me. "And do not show aversion to any good deed, even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face, or pouring water from your bucket into the vessel of one who asks for water. And tie your lower garment up to half the shin; if you cannot do that, then up to the ankles, but avoid letting the lower garment hang down, for this is arrogance, and Allah does not like arrogance."
