Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 234

Translation

✧ There was something between Ḥudhayfa and Salmān, so he came to him seeking him. He was told that he was in a vegetable garden of his, so he went towards him and met him carrying a basket with vegetables, having inserted his staff into the handle of the basket, and it was on his shoulder. He said, "O Abū ʿAbdullāh, what was between you and Ḥudhayfa?" He said, "Salmān says: 'Man was ever hasty' (17:11)." So they set off until they came to Salmān's house. Salmān entered the house and said, "Peace be upon you," then gave permission to Abū Qurra, who entered. There was a rug placed at the door, and at its head were bricks, and there was a cushion. He said, "Sit on the bedding of your mistress that she spreads for herself." Then he began to tell him, saying, "Ḥudhayfa used to relate things that the Messenger of God ﷺ said in his anger about certain people. I was approached and asked about them, and I said, 'Ḥudhayfa knows best what he says,' and I disliked that there be grudges between people. Ḥudhayfa was approached and told, 'Salmān neither confirms nor denies what you say.' So Ḥudhayfa came to me and said, 'O Salmān, son of Salmān's mother!' I said, 'O Ḥudhayfa, son of Ḥudhayfa's mother! You will stop, or I will write about you to ʿUmar.' When I threatened him with ʿUmar, he left me alone. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Of the children of Adam, I am one. Whichever servant of my community I curse with a curse or insult with an insult without cause, make it a blessing upon him.'"
