It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever, after performing the Maghrib and Fajr prayers, before turning his feet away from the prayer mat, recites these words ten times: "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd, biyadihil khair, yuhyi wa yumit, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer," ten good deeds will be written for him, ten sins will be forgiven, ten ranks will be raised, and these words will become a means of protection for him from every disliked thing and from the accursed devil. No sin except shirk will be able to surround him, and he will be counted among the people with the best deeds, except for someone who recites these words more times than him.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الحَمِيدِ (١) ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعُتُلِّ الزَّنِيمِ، فَقَالَ: " هُوَ الشَّدِيدُ الْخَلْقِ الْمُصَحَّحُ، الْأَكُولُ الشَّرُوبُ، الْوَاجِدُ لِلطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ، الظَّلُومُ لِلنَّاسِ، رَحِيبُ (٢) الْجَوْفِ " (٣)،

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the meaning of "utul zaneem" (which appears in Surah Nun wal-Qalam). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: It refers to a person who is strong-bodied, healthy, and eats and drinks abundantly, who possesses plenty of food and drink, who greatly oppresses people, and who has a very large belly.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ سِبْطًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هَلَكَ، لَا يُدْرَى أَيْنَ مَهْلِكُهُ، وَأَنَا أَخَافُ أَنْ، ، تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الضِّبَابُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: A group of Bani Israel was destroyed, but the place of their destruction is not known to anyone. I fear that perhaps it is this lizard.

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: No arrogant, ill-mannered, and cruel person of ignoble descent will enter Paradise. Benefit: The explanation of "cruel person of ignoble descent" has already been mentioned in Hadith 1854.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ، ، حَوْشَبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ غَنْمٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ " لَوِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ مَا خَالَفْتُكُمَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): "If both of you agree on any consultation, I will not oppose you."

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّ الدَّارِيَّ، كَانَ يُهْدِي لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّ عَامٍ رَاوِيَةً مِنْ خَمْرٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامَ حُرِّمَتْ، فَجَاءَ بِرَاوِيَةٍ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ضَحِكَ (٢) قَالَ: " هَلْ شَعَرْتَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ بَعْدَكَ؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفَلَا أَبِيعُهَا فَأَنْتَفِعَ بِثَمَنِهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَعَنَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ، لَعَنَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ، لَعَنَ اللهُ، ، الْيَهُودَ (١) ، انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى مَا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ شُحُومِ الْبَقَرِ، وَالْغَنَمِ، فَأَذَابُوهُ، فَجَعَلُوهُ ثَمَنًا لَهُ، فَبَاعُوا بِهِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ، وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ، وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ، وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ، وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ، وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ (٢) " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Dari used to send a skin of wine as a gift to the Prophet (ﷺ) every year. The year wine was forbidden, he came that year as well with a skin of wine. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw it, he smiled and said, "Do you know that wine has been made unlawful behind you?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Can I sell it and benefit from its price?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said three times, "May Allah curse the Jews! When the fat of cows and goats was made unlawful for them, they melted it and made it into a commodity, and then they began to buy and sell food with it." Then he said three times, "Remember, wine and its price are both unlawful." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّ الدَّارِيَّ، كَانَ يُهْدِي لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَأَذَابُوهُ وَجَعَلُوهُ إِهَالَةً، فَبَاعُوا بِهِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ (١)،

Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, he said: Abdul Hamid narrated to us, he said: Shahr narrated to us, from Ibn Ghanm, that al-Dari used to gift to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he mentioned its meaning, except that he said: "So they melted it and made it into fat, and they sold with it what they ate."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَنْ تَحَلَّى أَوْ حُلِّيَ بِخَر بَصِيصَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، كُوِيَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated marfu‘an from Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) that the best servants of Allah are those who, when seen, remind one of Allah; and the worst servants of Allah are those who indulge in tale-bearing, create discord among friends, and are rebellious, aloof, and obstinate.
