A man said to him, "Even if it is something insignificant, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Even if it is a twig from an arak tree!"

Waki‘ and ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, they said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Salim Abu al-Nadr, from Busr ibn Sa‘id, that Zayd ibn Khalid sent to Abu Juhaim. ‘Abd al-Rahman said: Zayd ibn Khalid sent me to Abu Juhaim al-Ansari: What have you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding a man who passes in front of another man while he is praying? He said: I heard him say: "If one of you knew what it means to pass in front of a man while he is praying, it would be better for him to stand for forty—I do not know whether it is years, or days, or months—than to pass in front of him."

He said: I heard him say: "For him to stand in his place is better for him than to pass in front of the one who is praying." I do not know whether he said: forty years, or forty months, or forty days!

Yaqoob narrated to us, my father narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, he told me from Abdur Rahman ibn Hurmuz al-A'raj, from Umair, the freed slave of Abdullah ibn Abbas—and Umair, the freed slave of Abdullah ibn Abbas, was trustworthy as has reached me—from Abu Juhaim ibn al-Harith ibn al-Simmah al-Ansari, who said:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out for some of his needs toward the well of Jamal, then he returned, and a man from his companions met him and greeted him with salam, but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not return the greeting to him until he placed his hand on the wall, then wiped his face and his hands, then said: "And upon you be peace."

Hashim ibn al-Qasim and Abu Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, they said: Sulaiman ibn al-Mughira narrated to us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abu Rifa'a al-Adawi, who said: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was delivering a sermon, and I said: A stranger man has come to ask about his religion, he does not know what his religion is. He said: "So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned towards me and left his sermon, then a chair made of palm fiber with iron legs was brought, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sat on it, then turned to me and taught me from what Allah had taught him, then he returned to his sermon and completed the last part of it." Abu Abd al-Rahman said in his narration: Humayd said: He said: I think he saw black wood and thought it was iron.

Affan narrated to us, Sulayman narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, he said: Abu Rifaa‘ah, a man from Banu ‘Adiyy, said: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was delivering a sermon... then he mentioned the hadith.

And I do not know except that he said: the people of Paradise from the people of the Fire. So a man from among the Muslims said: "By what, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "By good praise and bad praise; you are witnesses over one another."

Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, from his uncle, "That Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf used to satirize the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to send five men to him. They came to him while he was in the gathering of his people in al-'Awali. When he saw them, he was alarmed by them and said: What has brought you? They said: We have come to you for a need. He said: Let some of you come near me and tell me his need. So some of them approached him and said: We have come to sell you Adru' Laba (a type of armor). He said: By Allah, if you do so, you have struggled since this man settled among you, or he said: with you. So they made an appointment with him to come to him after a part of the night had passed. They came to him, and he stood up to them. His wife said to him: These people have not come to you at this hour for anything you like. He said: They have told me their need. When he drew near to them, Abu Abs embraced him, and Muhammad ibn Maslama struck him with the sword and stabbed him in his side, and they killed him. When morning came, the Jews went to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: Our leader has been killed treacherously. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, reminded them of what he used to satirize him with in his poetry and how he used to harm him. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called them to write a document between him and them. He said: That document was with Ali."
