Ibn Shihab Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that the nephew of Sayyiduna Abu Ruhm Kulthum bin Hisn Ghafari (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that he heard from Sayyiduna Abu Ruhm (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was among those companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who pledged allegiance under the tree. He used to say: I participated in the expedition of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). During the journey, one night I stopped at the place of Akhdar. Then I came close to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and drowsiness overcame us. I kept waking myself up, and my mount kept moving close to the mount of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I was worried that perhaps the blessed foot of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which was in the stirrup, might get struck by my mount. I kept pulling my mount back until, in a part of the night, sleep overcame me and my mount collided with the mount of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The blessed foot of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in the stirrup, and a part of my mount touched his blessed foot. My eyes opened when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Hass." I said: O Messenger of Allah! Please seek forgiveness for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Keep moving." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began to ask me about those people of Banu Ghifar who had stayed behind from (the expedition of Tabuk). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked me: "What happened to that red, tall, and dug-up army? Why did they not come?" He says: I informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about their staying behind. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Those black, curly-haired, and short-statured ones, whose animals are at the place of Shabkah Shadkh, why did they not come?" I tried to recall such people among Banu Ghifar, but I could not remember anyone with those characteristics. Then it occurred to me that these people are from the tribe of Banu Aslam. I said: O Messenger of Allah! These people are from the tribe of Aslam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What prevented these people from letting a strong and active man ride one of their camels in the way of Allah? Why does it weigh so heavily on me that among my relatives, the Muhajirun of Quraysh, the Ansar, and Banu Ghifar, and Aslam, should stay behind from Jihad?"

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man sought permission to visit the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This person is a bad man of his tribe." When he came in, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) received him with a cheerful face. So I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he said: "Allah does not like the one who is foul-mouthed and ill-spoken."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the night of Muzdalifah, Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) sought permission to leave early (towards Mina), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted her permission because she was a heavy and slow woman.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed the spoils of Hunayn at the place of Ji'ranah, people crowded around him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah sent a servant of His to a people, and they denied him and wounded him." He was wiping the blood from his forehead and saying: "O Allah, forgive my people, for they do not know." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is as if I am still seeing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as he was narrating this, wiping his blessed hand over his forehead.

It is narrated from Abu Al-Haytham (may Allah have mercy on him) that some people came to Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "Our neighbors drink alcohol and do such and such deeds. Should we complain about them to the Imam?" He replied: "No, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever sees a fault in a Muslim and conceals it, not revealing it to anyone, it is as if he has brought a buried-alive girl out of her grave and given her life.'"

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: "When you hear someone saying that the people are ruined, then he is the most ruined among them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not call a hypocrite 'Sayyid' (leader), because if he is your Sayyid and chief, then inevitably you have angered your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic."

It is narrated from 'Adi bin Aratah, may Allah have mercy on him, that among the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) there was a person who, when his piety was mentioned in front of him, would say: "O Allah! Do not hold me accountable for what these people are saying, and forgive (the sins) which these people do not know about me."

It is narrated from Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah said to Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both), or Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud asked Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What have you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding 'za‘m' (claim/assumption)?" He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a bad mount for a man."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: O Abu Mas’ud! What have you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the word“za’amu”(they claim)? He said: I heard him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:“This word is the worst mount of a man.”And I heard him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:“Cursing a believer is like killing him.”
