It is narrated from Sayyiduna Habib bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invited a Bedouin to take retaliation (qisas) from his own person for a scratch that the Bedouin had received from him (peace and blessings be upon him) unintentionally. Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came and said: O Muhammad! Allah did not send you as a tyrant or an arrogant one. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the Bedouin and said: "Take retaliation from me." The Bedouin said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! I have forgiven you, and I would never do that, even if you were to take my life. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for good for him. Imam al-Hakim says: Ahmad bin Ubayd is alone in narrating it from Muhammad bin Mus'ab, and Muhammad bin Mus'ab is trustworthy (thiqah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I love you, the People of the House (Ahl al-Bayt). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Truly, by Allah?" He said: By Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then prepare a shield for poverty, for poverty reaches the one who loves us faster than a flood flowing down from a height." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
