The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Weigh and give more.' The weigher said: 'This is a word I have never heard from anyone.' Abu Hurayra said: I said to him: 'Enough for you of sin and rudeness in your religion that you do not recognize your Prophet!'

Only the non-Arabs do this with their kings. I am not a king; I am only a man from among you.' He weighed and gave more, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the trousers. Abu Hurayra said: I went to carry them for him, and he said: 'The owner of a thing is more entitled to carry his thing, unless he is weak and unable, in which case his Muslim brother helps him.' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you wear trousers?' He said: 'Yes, in travel and at home, by night and day, for I was commanded to cover and I found nothing more concealing than it.'

✧ A guest once came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, so he sent to his wives: "Do you have anything? A guest is with me tonight." They sent back to him: "No, by the One who sent you with the truth, we have nothing but water." While he was thus, a man from the Ansar came. The Prophet of God said: "Do you have anything to take our guest with you tonight?" The Ansari said: "Yes, O Prophet of God." So he went with the guest. When he reached his home, he said to his wife: "Do you have anything?" She said: "Yes, a loaf of bread we have." He said: "It seems you are fixing the lamp, so extinguish it, and place the bread." He began to put his hand with the guest, he and his wife, and they raised their hands to their mouths but did not eat anything. They left the guest and the bread, and he ate it. In the morning, the guest went on his way. The Ansari said: "My time came for me to go to the Messenger of God ﷺ." So I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he looked at me from afar and said: "What did you do with your guest last night?" I thought the guest had complained about me to the Messenger of God, so I said: "O Messenger of God, I did such-and-such." He said: "Gabriel ﷺ came to me and informed me that your Lord was amazed at what you did with your guest"—or he said: "He laughed."

✧ God caused those before us to stray from Friday. For the Jews it was Saturday, and for the Christians Sunday. Then God brought us and guided us to Friday. He made Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and likewise they will follow us on the Day of Resurrection. We are the last in this world, the first on the Day of Resurrection, the ones for whom judgment will be passed on the Day of Resurrection over all creatures. God will gather people on a single plain. When the Garden is brought near, the believers will say, 'Who will open the Garden for us?' They will come to Adam and say, 'O Adam, open the Garden for us.' He will say, 'Did anything expel you from the Garden except the sin of your father Adam? I am not the one for that. Go to your father Ibrahim, the intimate friend of his Lord.' They will come to him and say, 'O Ibrahim, open the Garden for us.' He will say, 'I am not the one for that. I was only an intimate friend from behind a veil. Go to my brother Musa, the one to whom God spoke directly.' They will come to Musa, and he will say, 'I am not the one for that. Go to the word of God and His spirit, Isa.' They will come to him, and he will say, 'I am not the one for that. Go to Muhammad ﷺ.' They will come to Muhammad, and he will ask permission and be granted permission. Then al-Amanah (the Trust) and al-Rahim (the womb) will be sent with him, and they will stand on the two sides of the Sirat, on his right and his left. The first of you will pass like lightning, how quickly will he pass? Then he will return in the blink of an eye. Then he will pass like the wind. Then he will pass like birds. Then like the running of men, their deeds carrying them along. Your Prophet ﷺ will be standing on the Sirat saying, 'Save, save,' until people's deeds fall short. Until a man comes who can only cross crawling. On the edges of the Sirat there are hooked hooks, suspended, commanded to seize whomever they are commanded to seize. So some are saved but scratched, and some are piled into the Fire. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurayra, the depth of Jahannam is seventy autumns.

✧ Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him not harm his neighbor. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. It was said, 'O Messenger of God, what is the guest's due?' He said, 'Three days, and whatever is beyond that is charity.' Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. And treat women kindly, for woman was created from a rib. The most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it remains crooked. So treat women kindly.

He said, 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The first thing for which the son of Adam will be brought to account is his prayer. God says to His angels: Look at My servant's prayer.

Then his prayer is completed from his voluntary prayers, and the deeds are taken according to that measure.'

The angel—or his companion—said: 'Say: If Allah wills.' But he forgot. So he went around them, and no woman brought forth anything except one of them, who brought forth half a boy. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If Sulayman had made an exception, he would not have broken his oath, and it would have been a means for him to attain his need.'

✧ You claim that Abu Hurayra narrates many hadiths from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah is the appointed time. I was a poor man serving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the filling of my stomach. The Muhajirun were occupied with trading in the markets, and the Ansar were occupied with looking after their properties. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever spreads his garment will not forget anything he hears from me.' So I spread my garment until he finished his speech, then I gathered it to myself, and I have not forgotten anything I heard from him.

In the morning he is energetic and good in spirit. If he does not do that, he wakes up foul in spirit and lazy.

لَا يَنْظُرُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا، قَالَ: وَبَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَتَبَخْتَرُ يَمْشِي فِي بُرْدَيْهِ قَدْ أَعْجَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ، فَخَسَفَ اللهُ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ، فَهُوَ يَتَجَلْجَلُ فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
✧ Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will not look on the Day of Resurrection at a man who drags his lower garment out of pride. He said: While a man was walking arrogantly in his two cloaks, pleased with himself, Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and he will be sinking in it until the Day of Resurrection.

لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافَ، الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ، قَالُوا: فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ، وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ
✧ The poor person is not this one who goes around among the people, whom a morsel or a date or two dates turns away. They said, 'Then who is the poor person, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'The one who does not find enough to make him self-sufficient, and whose condition is not noticed so that charity may be given to him, and who does not stand and beg from people.'

وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ بِحَطَبٍ فَيُحْتَطَبَ، ثُمَّ آمُرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَيُؤَذَّنَ بِهَا، ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا فَيُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، ثُمَّ أُخَالِفَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ عَظْمًا سَمِينًا أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ حَسَنَتَيْنِ، لَشَهِدَ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ
✧ By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I was on the point of ordering that firewood be gathered, then ordering the prayer and the call to prayer be made, then ordering a man to lead the people in prayer, and then going off to some men and burning their houses down upon them. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if one of you knew that he would find a fat bone or two fine sheep's trotters, he would attend the evening prayer.
