A companion from the tribe of Azd Shanou’ah, Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair (may Allah be pleased with him), was narrating hadiths to people at the door of the mosque. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Whoever keeps a dog without (the need for) farming or livestock, then a qirat (portion) is deducted from his deeds every day.”(Sayyiduna As-Sa’ib bin Yazid, may Allah be pleased with him, asked:) Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? (Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair, may Allah be pleased with him, replied:) Yes! By the Lord of this mosque! (I heard it).

It is narrated from a man of Banu Asad (may Allah be pleased with him) that I and my family settled in Baqi’ Gharqad, so my family said: Go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him for something to eat for us. They began to mention their needs and necessities. So I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw a man with him who was asking (for something), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying:“I have nothing to give you.”Then that man turned back angrily, saying: By my life! You give to whomever you wish. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“He is angry with me because I have nothing to give him. If any of you asks (in such a state) while he has one uqiyyah of silver or its equivalent, then he has asked excessively.”The Asadi companion said: Our milch she-camel is better than one uqiyyah of silver. (Imam) Malik said: An uqiyyah is forty dirhams. The Asadi (companion, may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I went back and did not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything. Then after that, barley and dried dates were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he distributed from it and gave us too, until Allah made us self-sufficient.

And with the same chain of narration (from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both), it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned avoiding charity and begging while on the pulpit and said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand; the upper hand is the one that gives, and the lower hand is the one that asks."

And with this same chain (it is narrated) from (Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! If any one of you were to take his rope, then gather firewood and carry it on his back (and bring it), that would be better for him than going to a man whom Allah has blessed with His bounty (wealth), and asking him, so that he either gives him or refuses him."

It is narrated from the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks from silver vessels is indeed filling his belly with the fire of Hell (gulp after gulp)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Khaybar, a man passed away and they mentioned him before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Zayd said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told them: "Offer the funeral prayer of your companion." Upon hearing this, the faces of the people changed. Then (Zayd said): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your companion has committed treachery regarding the spoils of war." (Zayd said) We opened his belongings and found among them a few beads from the Jews, which were not even worth two dirhams.

And with this chain of narration, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not bear malice against one another, do not envy one another, do not turn your backs on one another, and be, O servants of Allah, brothers to one another. It is not lawful for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three nights."

And with this same chain (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should milk someone else's animal without their permission. Would any of you like that someone comes into his room, breaks open his treasure, and then takes his food (grain) and transfers it to himself? The udders of people's animals store and preserve their food (milk), so none of you should milk another's animal without their permission."

It is narrated from Nabiha bin Wahb (Tabi'i) that Umar bin Ubaidullah sent a message to Aban bin Uthman (bin Affan) that I want to marry (Talha) bin Umar (al-Qurashi al-Taymi) to the daughter of Shaybah bin Jubair, and I intend for you to be present as well. In those days, Aban, may Allah have mercy on him, was the leader of the pilgrims. And both (Umar bin Ubaidullah and Aban) were in the state of ihram, so Aban bin Uthman refused Umar bin Ubaidullah's (invitation) and said: I heard (my father) Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, say that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "One in the state of ihram should neither marry, nor arrange a marriage, nor get someone married." Abu al-Hasan (al-Qabisi) said: It is possible that Nabiha heard this from Aban. This is confirmed (and supported) by the narration of others besides Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, and if this were not the case, it is possible that he heard it from the messenger who delivered the message, thus this narration becomes connected with an unknown narrator in the chain, and Allah alone grants success. The ahadith narrated by Nafi' have been completed, and these are seventy-two (72) ahadith.

And with the same chain of narration (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not withhold excess water so that the grass may remain."
