أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْجَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The one who recites the Qur'an loudly is like one who gives charity openly, and the one who recites the Qur'an quietly is like one who gives charity in secret.

It was narrated from 'Uqbah bin 'Amir رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ:‏‏‏‏ الْعَاقُّ لِوَالِدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمَرْأَةُ الْمُتَرَجِّلَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالدَّيُّوثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ:‏‏‏‏ الْعَاقُّ لِوَالِدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُدْمِنُ عَلَى الْخَمْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمَنَّانُ بِمَا أَعْطَى .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three at whom Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection: The one who disobeys his parents, the woman who imitates men in her outward appearance, and the cuckold. And there are three who will not enter Paradise: The one who disobeys his parents, the drunkard, and the one who reminds people of what he has given them. '

It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that his father said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُدْرِكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ:‏‏‏‏ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُسْبِلُ إِزَارَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُنَفِّقُ سِلْعَتَهُ بِالْحَلِفِ الْكَاذِبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمَنَّانُ عَطَاءَهُ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, or look at them, or sanctify them, and theirs will be a painful torment. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم repeated and Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said: May they be lost and doomed. He said: The one who lets his garment hang beneath his ankles, a vendor who tries to sell his product by means of false oaths, and the one who reminds people of what he has given them.

It was narrated from Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَهُوَ الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ:‏‏‏‏ الْمَنَّانُ بِمَا أَعْطَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُسْبِلُ إِزَارَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُنَفِّقُ سِلْعَتَهُ بِالْحَلِفِ الْكَاذِبِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three to whom of Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection or look at them or purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment: the one who reminds people of what he has given them, the one who lets his garment hang beneath his ankles, and a vendor who tries to sell his product by means of false oaths.

It was narrated that Abu Dharr رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ. ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ بُجَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رُدُّوا السَّائِلَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ ،‏‏‏‏ فِي حَدِيثِ هَارُونَ مُحْرَقٍ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Respond to the one who asks even with a sheep's foot. According to the narration of Harun: With a sheep's burned foot.

It was narrated from Abu Bujaid Al-Ansari from his grandmother that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ بَهْزَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ يَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ عِنْدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَضْلَهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَ .

I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) say: No man comes to his Mawla and asks him for something from the surplus of what he has, and he withholds it from him, but on the Day of Resurrection a bald-headed Shuja'a [1] will be called to him and will be licking the surplus that he withheld.

Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father that his grandfather said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنِ اسْتَعَاذَ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنِ اسْتَجَارَ بِاللَّهِ فَأَجِيرُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ آتَى إِلَيْكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا فَكَافِئُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَادْعُوا لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا أَنْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'Whoever seeks refuge with (the name of) Allah, grant him refuge; whoever asks of you in (the name of) Allah, give him; whoever seeks protection with (the name of Allah, give him protection. Whoever does you a favor, then reciprocate, and if you cannot, then supplicate for him until you think that you have repaid him. '

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar رضی الله عنہما said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ بَهْزَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ! مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى حَلَفْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِهِنَّ لِأَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ أَلَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏آتِيَكَ وَلَا آتِيَ دِينَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً لَا أَعْقِلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمَنِي اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا بَعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ إِلَيْنَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِالْإِسْلَامِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا آيَاتُ الْإِسْلَامِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ تَقُولَ:‏‏‏‏ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَخَلَّيْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ كُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ مُحَرَّمٌ أَخَوَانِ نَصِيرَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ بَعْدَمَا أَسْلَمَ عَمَلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ يُفَارِقَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ .

I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! I did not come to you until I had sworn more that this many times' - the number of fingers on his hands - 'that I would never come to you or follow your religion. I am a man who does not know anything except that which Allah and His Messenger teach me. I ask you by the face of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, with what has your Lord sent you to us? He said: 'With Islam.' I said: What are the signs of Islam? He said; To say: I submit my face to Allah and give up Shirk, and, to establish the Salah and to pay Zakah. Each Muslim is sacred and inviolable to his fellow Muslim; they support one another. Allah does not accept my deed from an idolater after he becomes a Muslim, until he departs from the idolaters and joins the Muslims. '

Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father that his grandfather said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْقَارِظِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلًا ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى يَمُوتَ أَوْ يُقْتَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالَّذِي يَلِيهِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَعْتَزِلُ شُرُورَ النَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ النَّاسِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Shall I not tell you of the best of the people in status? We said: Yes. O Messenger of Allah! He said: A man who rides his horse in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, until he dies or is killed. Shall I not tell you of the one who comes after him (in status)? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! He said; A man who withdraws to a mountain pass and establishes Salah, and pays Zakah, and keeps away from the evil of people. Shall I not tell you of the worst of people? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! He said: The one who asks for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, but does not give (when he is asked) for His sake,

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas رضی الله عنہما that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيًّا يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَلَاثَةٌ يَبْغُضُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَّا الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَخَلَّفَهُ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُعْدَلُ بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَهُزِمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يَبْغُضُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:‏‏‏‏ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْفَقِيرُ الْمُخْتَالُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْغَنِيُّ الظَّلُومُ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, and three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates. As for those whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him. So one man stayed behind and gave to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything that may be equivalent to it, so they lay down their heads (and slept). Then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting MY Ayat. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, granted victory to him. And three whom Allah hates are the old man who commits Zina, the poor man who shows off, and the rich man who is unjust.

It was narrated from Zaid bin Zibyan, and attributed to Abu Dharr رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَاللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ الْمُتَعَفِّفُ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا .

The messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who leaves if you give him a date or two, or a morsel or two. Rather the poor man is the one who refrains from asking. Recite if you wish: They do not beg of people at all. '

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who goes around asking people and they send him away with a morsel or two, of a date or two. They said: Then what does poor (Mishkin) mean? He said: The one who does not possess independence of means and no one notices him to give charity to him, and he does not stand and ask of people.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who leaves if you give him a morsel or two, or a date or two. They said: Then who is the Miskin, O Messenger of Allah? He said: The one who does not possess independence of means, and the people do not know of his need, so that they could give him charity.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

The poor man stands at my door, and I cannot find anything to give him. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to her: If you cannot find anything to give to him except a sheep's burned foot, then give it to him.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Bujaid رضی الله عنہا that his grandmother Umm Bujaid -who was one of those who gave the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم - said to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three to whom Allah, it Mighty and Sublime, with not speak on the Day of Resurrection: An old man who commits adultery, a poor man who is arrogant, and an Imam who tells lies. '

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are four whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates: The vendor who sells his wares by means of false oaths, the poor man who shows off, the old man who commits Zina and the Imam who is unjust.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The one who strives to sponsor a widow or a poor person is like the one who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. '

When he was in Yemen, Ali رضی اللہ عنہ sent a piece of gold that was still mixed with sediment to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم distributed it among four people: Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali, 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulathah Al- 'Amiri, who was from Banu Kilab and Zaid Al-Ta'I who was from Banu Nabhan. The Quraish - he said one time: became angry and said: 'You give to the chiefs of Najdand that, so as to soften their hearts toward Islam.' Then a man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, and a shaven head came and said: 'Fear Allah. O Muhammad! He said: 'Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) He has entrusted me with all the people of the Earth but you do not trust me?' Then the man went away, and a man from among the people, whom they (the narrators) think was Khalid bin Al-Walid رضی اللہ عنہ , asked for permission to kill him. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'Among the offspring of this man will be some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go any further than their throats. They will kill the Muslims but leave the idol worshippers alone, and they will passes through Islam as an arrow passes through the body of the target. If I live to see them. I will kill them all, as the people of 'Ad were killed. '

I undertook a financial responsibility. [1] Then I came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and asked him (for help) concerning that. He said: 'Asking (for money) is not permissible except for three: A man who undertakes a financial responsibility between people; he may ask for help with that until the matter is settled, then he should refrain (from asking). '

It was narrated that Qubaisah bin Mukhariq رضی الله عنہ said

I undertook a financial responsibility, then I came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and asked him (for help) concerning that. He said: 'Hold on, o Qubaisah! When we get some charity we will give you some.' Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'O Qubaisah, charity is not permissible except for one of three: A man who undertakes a financial responsibility, so it is permissible for him to be given charity until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him; a man who was stricken by calamity and his wealth was destroyed, so it is permissible for him to ask for help until he has enough to keep him going, them he should refrain from asking; and a man who is stricken with poverty and three wise men from among his own people testily that so-and-so is in desperate need, then it is permissible for him to ask for help until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him. Asking for help in cases other than these, O Qubaisah, is unlawful, and the one who takes it is consuming it unlawfully. '

It was narrated that Qubaisah bin Mukhariq رضی الله عنہ said

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sat on the Minbar, and we sat around him. He said: 'What I fear most for you after I am gone is the (worldly) delights that will come to you.' And he spoke of this world and its attractions. A man said: 'Can good bring forth evil? 'The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم remained silent and it was said to him (that man): 'What is the matter with you? You speak to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم when he does not speak to you? We noticed that he was receiving Revelation. Then he recovered and wiped off his sweat and said: I know what the questioner meant: he means that good never brings forth evil. But some of that which grows in the spring kills the animals or makes them sick, unless they eat Al-Khadir (kind of plant): if they eat their fill or it then turn to face the sun and then defecate and urinate and start to graze again. This wealth is fresh and sweet. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to a Muslim from which he gives to orphans, the poor and wayfarers. The one who takes it unlawfully is like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and who eats but is never satisfied, and it will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection. '

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Giving charity to a poor person is charity, and (giving) to a relative is two things, charity and upholding the ties of kinship.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to women: 'Give charity, even from women: 'Give charity, even from your jewelry. 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ was not a wealthy man and she said to him: 'Can I spend my charity on you and on my brother's children who are orphans? 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about that.' She said: So I went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , and at his door I found a woman from among the Ansar who was also called Zainab رضی اللہ عنہا , and she was asking about the same matter as I was. Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ came out to us and we said to him: Go to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and ask him about that, but do not tell him who we are. He went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he said:' Who are they?' He said: Zainab.' He said: 'Which Zainab? He said: 'Zainab Al-Ansariyyah.' Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ and Zainab Al-Ansariyyah.' He said: 'Yes, they will have two rewards, the reward for upholding the ties of kinship and the reward for giving charity. '

It was narrated that Zainab رضی الله عنہا , the wife of 'Abdullah, said

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَأَنْ يَحْتَزِمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُزْمَةَ حَطَبٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلًا فَيُعْطِيَهُ أَوْ يَمْنَعَهُ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'if one of you were to carry a bundle of firewood on his back and sell it, that would be better than asking a man who may or may not give him something. '

Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَيْسَ فِي وَجْهِهِ مُزْعَةٌ مِنْ لَحْمٍ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: ' A man will keep on asking until on the Day of Resurrection he will come without even a shared of skin on his face. '
