Hadith of Bahz ibn Hakim from his father from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with them)

حَدِيثُ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ٢٠٠١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " فِي كُلِّ إِبِلٍ سَائِمَةٍ. فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ ابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ. لَا تُفَرَّقُ إِبِلٌ عَنْ حِسَابِهَا. مَنْ أَعْطَاهَا مُؤْتَجِرًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا، وَمَنْ مَنَعَهَا فَإِنَّا آخِذُوهَا مِنْهُ وَشَطْرَ إِبِلِهِ (١) عَزْمَةً مِنْ عَزَمَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَا يَحِلُّ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: For every forty freely-grazing camels, one bint labun is obligatory, and according to this calculation of zakat, no camel should be separated individually. Whoever pays zakat himself with the intention of reward will receive its reward, and whoever does not pay zakat, we can forcibly collect it from him. The share of his camel is the decision of our Lord, and nothing from it is lawful for the family of Muhammad (ﷺ).

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ عَمَّهَ، قَامَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: جِيرَانِي بِمَ أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَ أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَ أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ. (١) فَقَالَ: لَئِنْ قُلْتُ، ، ذَلِكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْغَيِّ وَتَسْتَخْلِي بِهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا قَالَ؟ " فَقَامَ أَخُوهُ أَوْ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ. فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ (١) قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " لَقَدْ قُلْتُمُوهَا أَوْ قَائِلُكُمْ، وَلَئِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ إِنَّهُ لَعَلَيَّ وَمَا هُوَ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلُّوا لَهُ عَنْ جِيرَانِهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once his father or uncle said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "Why have my neighbors been seized?" The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from his words. This happened twice. Then his father or uncle said, "By Allah! If you do this, people will think that you command something and then you yourself violate it." He kept speaking and I was dragging my sheet along as I was going, when the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What was this man saying?" The people informed him that he was saying, "If you do this, people will think that you command something and then you yourself violate it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can people say such a thing? Even if I did so, its effect would be upon me, not upon them. Leave his neighbors."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَزَعَةَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah does not accept the repentance of the person who, after accepting Islam, falls back into polytheism.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاسًا مِنْ قَوْمِي فِي تُهْمَةٍ فَحَبَسَهُمْ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَلَامَ تَحْبِسُ جِيرَتِي؟ فَصَمَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ نَاسًا لَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّكَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الشَّرِّ، وَتَسْتَخْلِي بِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا يَقُولُ؟ " قَالَ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَعْرِضُ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْكَلَامِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَهَا، فَيَدْعُوَ عَلَى قَوْمِي دَعْوَةً، لَا يُفْلِحُونَ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا، فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهِ حَتَّى فَهِمَهَا فَقَالَ: " قَدْ قَالُوهَا أَوْ قَائِلُهَا مِنْهُمْ، وَاللهِ لَوْ فَعَلْتُ لَكَانَ عَلَيَّ، وَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَلُّوا لَهُ عَنْ جِيرَانِهِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once his father or uncle said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "Why have my neighbors been seized?" The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from his words. This happened twice. Then his father or uncle said, "By Allah! If you do this, people will think that you command something and then you yourself violate it."

Even if I did this, its effect would be upon me, not upon them. Leave his neighbors alone."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ سَأَلَهُ مَوْلَاهُ فَضْلَ مَالِهِ فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ جُعِلَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: If a person's paternal cousin asks him for an extra share of his wealth and he does not give it to him, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be turned into a bald snake.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،، ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ، ثُمَّ يَكْذِبُ لِيُضْحِكَهُمْ وَيْلٌ لَهُ. وَوَيْلٌ لَهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Woe to the person who tells lies to make people laugh. Woe to him, woe to him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو قَزَعَةَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى حَلَفْتُ عَدَدَ أَصَابِعِي هَذِهِ أَنْ لَا آتِيَكَ، أَرَانَا عَفَّانُ وَطَبَّقَ كَفَّيْهِ، فَبِالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِهِ (٢) ؟ قَالَ: " الْإِسْلَامُ ". قَالَ: وَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْ يُسْلِمَ قَلْبُكَ لِلَّهِ، وَأَنْ تُوَجِّهَ وَجْهَكَ إِلَى، ، اللهِ وَتُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، أَخَوَانِ نَصِيرَانِ. لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ تَوْبَةً أَشْرَكَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ ". قُلْتُ: مَا حَقُّ زَوْجَةِ أَحَدِنَا عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: " تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ، وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ، وَلَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ، وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ، وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ ". قَالَ: " تُحْشَرُونَ هَاهُنَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَحْوِ الشَّامِ مُشَاةً وَرُكْبَانًا، وَعَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ تُعْرَضُونَ عَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى أَفْوَاهِكُمُ الْفِدَامُ، وَأَوَّلُ مَا يُعْرِبُ عَنْ أَحَدِكُمْ فَخِذُهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to the Prophet (ﷺ): I had sworn so many times (opening the fingers of his hands he indicated the number) that I would not come to you, but now I have come, so tell me, with what has Allah sent you? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah has sent me with Islam. He asked: What is Islam? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: To bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is His servant and Messenger, and to establish prayer and pay zakat. These two things are supportive, and Allah does not accept the repentance of a person who, after accepting Islam, falls back into polytheism. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of our wife upon us? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When you eat, feed her; when you wear clothes, clothe her as well; do not strike her on the face; do not abuse her; and if you separate from her, do so only within the house. Then he said: All of you will be gathered here (he pointed towards Syria), some of you will be mounted, some on foot, and some on their faces. On the Day of Resurrection, when you are presented, a seal will be set upon your mouths, and the first thing to speak will be the thigh. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: If a person’s cousin asks him for an extra share of his wealth and he does not give it, then before the judgment on the Day of Resurrection, he will be turned into a bald snake that will keep biting him. It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: In earlier times there was a man whom Allah had blessed with abundant wealth and children. Time passed, one era went and another came. When his death approached, he said to his children: O my children! What kind of father have I been to you? They said: The best father. He said: Will you obey me in one thing? They said: Yes. He said: Look, when I die, burn me in fire and keep me in the fire until I become coal, then crush that coal in a mortar (he indicated with his hand), then on a windy day, scatter my ashes in the sea. Perhaps in this way I will not meet Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: By Allah! They did exactly that, but at that very moment he was in Allah’s grasp. Allah asked him: O son of Adam! What made you do this? He said: My Lord! Your fear. Allah, due to the blessing of that fear, forgave him.

وَقَالَ: " مَا مِنْ مَوْلًى يَأْتِي مَوْلًى لَهُ، فَيَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ شُجَاعًا يَنْهَشُهُ قَبْلَ الْقَضَاءِ " قَالَ عَفَّانُ: يَعْنِي بِالْمَوْلَى: ابْنَ عَمِّهِ (٢)، ،

And he said: "There is no mawla who comes to his mawla and asks him for some favor that he has, and he withholds it from him, except that Allah, the Exalted, will make for him a serpent that will bite him before the judgment." ‘Affan said: He means by mawla his cousin..

قَالَ: وَقَالَ: " إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَصْرٌ، وَجَاءَ آخَرُ، فَلَمَّا احْتُضِرَ قَالَ لِوَلَدِهِ: أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرَ أَبٍ. فَقَالَ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطِيعِيَّ؟ وَإِلَّا أَخَذْتُ مَالِي مِنْكُمْ. انْظُرُوا إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ أَنْ تُحَرِّقُونِي حَتَّى تَدَعُونِي حُمَمًا، ثُمَّ اهْرُسُونِي بِالْمِهْرَاسِ "، وَأَدَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَفَعَلُوا وَاللهِ ".، وَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا، " ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي يَوْمٍ رَاحٍ (١) لَعَلِّي أَضِلُّ اللهَ ". كَذَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ، وَقَالَ مُهَنَّا أَبُو شِبْلٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ: " أَضِلُّ اللهَ فَفَعَلُوا، وَاللهِ ذَاكَ، ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَهُ؟ " قَالَ: مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ فَتَلَافَاهُ اللهُ بِهَا (١)،

He said: He said: And he said: "A man from among those who were before you, Allah the Exalted granted him wealth and children, until one era passed and another came. When he was on his deathbed, he said to his children: 'What kind of father was I to you?' They said: 'The best father.' He said: 'Will you obey me, or shall I take my wealth from you? See, when I die, burn me until you leave me as charcoal, then crush me with the pestle,'" and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, moved his hands near his knees. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "So they did, by Allah," and the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did with his hand like this: "Then scatter me on a windy day, perhaps I will elude Allah." Thus said Affan, and Muhanna Abu Shibl narrated from Hammad: "I will elude Allah, so they did that, by Allah. Then he was standing in the grasp of Allah the Exalted, and He said: 'O son of Adam, what made you do what you did?' He said: 'Out of fear of You.' So Allah forgave him for that."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ فِيمَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ الْجُرَيْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَنْتُمْ تُوفُونَ سَبْعِينَ أُمَّةً أَنْتُمْ آخِرُهَا، وَأَكْرَمُهَا عَلَى اللهِ، وَمَا بَيْنَ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا، وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَكَظِيظٌ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, you will be in the form of a complete seventy nations, and you will be the last nation, and you will be the most honorable in the sight of Allah. The distance between the two gates of Paradise is forty years’ journey, but there will come a day when even there will be a crowd.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " تَجِيئُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِكُمُ الْفِدَامُ، وَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنَ الْآدَمِيِّ (١) فَخِذُهُ وَكَفُّهُ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, when you will be presented, a seal will be set upon your mouths, and the first thing to speak will be your thigh.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَزَعَةَ، وَعَطَاءٌ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي قُشَيْرٍ،، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا حَقُّ امْرَأَتِي عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ: " تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ، وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ، وَلَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ، وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he once asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of our wife upon us?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "When you eat, feed her as well; when you clothe yourself, clothe her as well; do not strike her on the face; do not abuse her; and if you separate from her, do so only within the confines of the house."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ: " أُمَّكَ ". قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: " ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: " أُمَّكَ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: " ثُمَّ أَبَاكَ، ثُمَّ الْأَقْرَبَ فَالْأَقْرَبَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! With whom should I do good and show kindness?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "With your mother." I asked the same question three times, and each time the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave the same answer. Upon asking the fourth time, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "With your father, then in order of closeness, with your relatives."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ " أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ تُوفُونَ سَبْعِينَ أُمَّةً. أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُهَا وَأَكْرَمُهَا عَلَى اللهِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, you will be in the form of a complete seventy nations, and you will be the last nation, and the most honorable in the sight of Allah.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ؟ قَالَ: " حَرْثُكَ ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ، غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَضْرِبَ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ، وَأَطْعِمْ إِذَا طَعِمْتَ، وَاكْسُ إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ. كَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَفْضَى بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا بِمَا حَلَّ عَلَيْهَا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the court of Prophethood, "O Messenger of Allah! In which part of our women may we approach them and which part should we leave?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your wife is your field; come to your field from wherever you wish. However, when you eat, feed her as well; when you dress, clothe her as well. Do not strike her on the face, do not abuse her, and if you separate from her, do so only within the house. How is it appropriate when you approach each other in a lawful manner?"

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ: " هَاهُنَا ". وَنَحَا بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّامِ. قَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ مَحْشُورُونَ رِجَالًا وَرُكْبَانًا وَتُجَرُّونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Where do you command me to go?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will all be gathered here (he pointed towards Shaam); some of you will be mounted, some will be on foot, and some will be dragged on their faces."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ، فَيَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَضْلُهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَهُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: If a person’s paternal cousin asks him for an extra share of his wealth and he does not give it to him, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be turned into a bald snake.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَتَسَاءَلُ أَمْوَالَنَا. قَالَ: " يَتَسَاءَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْجَائِحَةِ (١) أَوِ الْفَتْقِ لِيُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ، فَإِذَا بَلَغَ أَوْ كَرَبَ اسْتَعَفَّ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (bin Hida) رضي الله عنه that I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! We are a people who ask each other for wealth (i.e., seek financial help). The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: A person should (only) ask when he is in (severe) need or when there is such discord/separation among the people that he is collecting wealth to end it and bring about reconciliation. Then, when he reaches (the required amount) or comes close to it, he should refrain (from asking).

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ بَهْزٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ؟ قَالَ: " احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِكَ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَيَنَّهَا ". قُلْتُ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا؟ قَالَ: " فَاللهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! How much of our private parts should we cover and how much can we leave uncovered?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Protect your private parts from everyone except your wife and your slave woman." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Some people have relatives who live with them?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "As much as possible, do not let them see your private parts, do not show them." I asked, "Sometimes one of us is alone?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Allah is more deserving that one should feel shy before Him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ بَهْزٍ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ: " فَاللهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ ". وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ. (١)،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: أَيْضًا وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ، فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهِ (٢)،

Yunus narrated to us, from Hammad ibn Zayd, he also said: And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gestured with his hand, and placed it on his private part.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بَهْزٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى حَلَفْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ أُولَاءِ، وَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى أَنْ لَا آتِيَكَ، وَلَا آتِيَ دِينَكَ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُ امْرَأً لَا أَعْقِلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمَنِي اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ، ، اللهِ بِمَ بَعَثَكَ رَبُّنَا إِلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ: " بِالْإِسْلَامِ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا آيَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْ تَقُولَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّهِ وَتَخَلَّيْتُ، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَكُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ مُحَرَّمٌ أَخَوَانِ نَصِيرَانِ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ يُشْرِكُ بَعْدَمَا أَسْلَمَ عَمَلًا، أَوْ يُفَارِقُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا لِي أُمْسِكُ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ، أَلَا إِنَّ رَبِّي دَاعِيَّ وَإِنَّهُ سَائِلِي: " هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ عِبَادِي؟ " وَأَنَا قَائِلٌ لَهُ: " رَبِّ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُهُمْ أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ مَدْعُوُّونَ، وَمُفَدَّمَةٌ (١) أَفْوَاهُكُمْ بِالْفِدَامِ وَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُبِينُ، وَقَالَ بِوَاسِطٍ يُتَرْجِمُ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا دِينُنَا. قَالَ: " هَذَا دِينُكُمْ وَأَيْنَمَا تُحْسِنْ يَكْفِكَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to the Prophet (ﷺ): I had sworn so many times (opening the fingers of his hands to count) that I would not come to you, but now I have come to you, so tell me, with what has Allah sent you? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah has sent me with Islam. He asked: What is Islam? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Say, "I have submitted myself before Allah and have become devoted to Him," and establish prayer and pay zakat, and remember! Every Muslim is honorable to another Muslim. These two things are supportive, and Allah does not accept the repentance of the one who, after accepting Islam or after leaving the polytheists and coming to the Muslims, falls into polytheism again. What is this matter that I am grabbing you by your waists and saving you from Hell? Remember! My Lord will inform me and ask me: "Did you convey My message to My servants?" And I will say: "O Lord! I conveyed Your message to them." Remember! Whoever among you is present: let him convey this to the absent. On the Day of Resurrection, when you will be presented, a seal will be set upon your mouths, and the first thing to speak will be your thigh. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Is this our religion? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: This is your religion, and wherever you do a good deed, it will suffice for you.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " فِي كُلِّ إِبِلٍ سَائِمَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ ابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ لَا تُفَرَّقُ إِبِلٌ عَنْ حِسَابِهَا. مَنْ، ، أَعْطَاهَا مُؤْتَجِرًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا، وَمَنْ مَنَعَهَا فَإِنَّا آخِذُوهَا، (١) وَشَطْرَ إِبِلِهِ عَزْمَةً مِنْ عَزَمَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَا يَحِلُّ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: For every forty freely-grazing camels, one bint labun is obligatory, and according to this calculation of zakat, no camel should be separated individually. Whoever pays zakat himself with the intention of reward will receive its reward, and whoever does not pay zakat, we can forcibly collect it from him. The share of his camel is the decision of our Lord, and nothing from it is lawful for the family of Muhammad (ﷺ).

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، وَيَزِيدُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزٌ الْمَعْنَى، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا، وَكَانَ لَا يَدِينُ اللهَ دِينًا. قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَلَبِثَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عُمُرٌ وَبَقِيَ عُمُرٌ تَذَكَّرَ فَعَلِمَ أَنْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرًا دَعَا بَنِيهِ فَقَالَ: يَا بَنِيَّ أَيَّ أَبٍ تَعْلَمُونِي (٣) ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرَهُ يَا أَبَانَا. قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ لَا أَدَعُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ مَالًا هُوَ مِنِّي إِلَّا أَنَا آخِذُهُ (٤) مِنْهُ، أَوْ لَتَفْعَلُنَّ مَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ مِيثَاقًا. قَالَ: إِمَّا لَا فَإِذَا مُتُّ فَخُذُونِي فَأَلْقُونِي فِي النَّارِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ حُمَمًا فَدُقُّونِي ". قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: " اسْحَقُونِي، ثُمَّ ذَرُّونِي فِي الرِّيحِ لَعَلِّي أَضِلُّ اللهَ ". قَالَ: " فَفُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ حِينَ مَاتَ. قَالَ: فَجِيءَ بِهِ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ، فَعُرِضَ عَلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ: " مَا، ، حَمَلَكَ عَلَى النَّارِ؟ " قَالَ: خَشِيتُكَ يَا رَبَّاهُ. قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَسْمَعَنَّ الرَّاهِبَةَ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: أَسْمَعُكَ رَاهِبًا، فَتِيبَ عَلَيْهِ " قَالَ بَهْزٌ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الْحَسَنَ، وَقَتَادَةَ وَحَدَّثَانِيهِ: " فَتِيبَ عَلَيْهِ "، أَوْ " فَتَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ " شَكَّ يَحْيَى (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: In earlier times there was a man whom Allah Almighty had blessed with abundant wealth and children. Time passed until one era ended and another began. When his death approached, he said to his children, "My children! How have I been as a father to you?" They replied, "The best father." He said, "Will you obey one request of mine now?" They said, "Yes!" He said, "Listen, when I die, burn me in fire and keep me in the fire until I become coal, then crush that coal in a mortar (he showed with a hand gesture), then on a windy day, scatter my ashes into the sea. Perhaps in this way I will not meet Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah! They did exactly as he had asked, but at that very moment he was in Allah's grasp. Allah asked him, "O son of Adam! What made you do this?" He replied, "My Lord! Your fear." Allah Almighty, due to the blessing of that fear, accepted his repentance.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَوْرَاتُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا، ، نَذَرُ؟ قَالَ: " احْفَظْ عَوْرَتَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ زَوْجَتِكَ، أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ ". قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَلَا يَرَاهَا ". قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا خَالِيًا؟ قَالَ: " فَاللهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنَ النَّاسِ " (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ أَخَاهُ، أَوْ عَمَّهُ قَامَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: جِيرَانِي بِمَ أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ. قَالَ: جِيرَانِي بِمَ أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: جِيرَانِي بِمَا أُخِذُوا؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَ: لَئِنْ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ زَعَمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَنْهَى عَنِ الْغَيِّ وَيَسْتَخْلِي بِهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا قَالَ؟ " فَقَامَ أَخُوهُ أَوْ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ. إِنَّهُ. فَقَالَ: " أَمَا لَقَدْ قُلْتُمُوهَا، أَوْ، ، قَالَ قَائِلُكُمْ: وَلَئِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ إِنَّهُ لَعَلَيَّ، وَمَا هُوَ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلُّوا لَهُ عَنْ جِيرَانِهِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once his father or uncle said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "Why have my neighbors been seized?" The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from his statement. This happened twice. Then his father or uncle said, "By Allah! If you were to do so, people would think that you command something and then you yourself violate it." He kept speaking and I was dragging my sheet along as I went, when the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What was this man saying?" The people informed him that he was saying, "If you were to do so, people would think that you command something and then you yourself violate it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can people say such a thing? Even if I did so, its effect would be upon me, not upon them. Release his neighbors."

It is narrated from Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the court of the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah! In which part of our women may we approach them and which part should we leave?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your wife is your field; come to your field from wherever you wish.
