أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ »، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « ثُمَّ صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ »، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ: « الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ »، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ: « قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ » قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « أَمْرٌ بِالْمُنْكَرِ، وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ »
✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was among a group of his companions. He said: I said: 'Are you the one who claims that you are the Messenger of God?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, which deeds are most beloved to God?' He ﷺ said: 'Faith in God.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, then what?' He ﷺ said: 'Then maintaining family ties.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, which deeds are most hateful to God, exalted be He?' He ﷺ said: 'Associating partners with God.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, then what?' He said: 'Severing family ties.' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of God, then what?' He ﷺ said: 'Commanding evil and forbidding good.'

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَسَأَلَهُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ فَمَتَّ لَهُ بِرَحِمٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، فَأَلَانَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ، وَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « اعْرِفُوا أَنْسَابَكُمْ تَصِلُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ ; فَإِنَّهُ لَا قُرْبَ لِلرَّحِمِ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَرِيبَةً، وَلَا بُعْدَ لَهَا إِذَا وُصِلَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَعِيدَةً
✧ I was with Ibn Abbas ؓ when a man came to him and asked him: 'Who are you?' He claimed a distant kinship to him, so he softened his speech to him and said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Know your lineages so that you may maintain your family ties; for there is no nearness for the womb when it is severed, even if it is close, and no distance for it when it is maintained, even if it is distant.'

« الرَّحِمُ شِجْنَةٌ بِحُجْزَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ تُنَاشِدُهُ حَقَّهَا، فَيَقُولُ: أَلَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ، وَمَنْ وَصَلَكِ فَقَدْ وَصَلَنِي، وَمَنْ قَطَعَكِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَنِي
✧ The womb is a branch from the Merciful, holding onto His waist, pleading for its right. He says: 'Are you not content that I maintain ties with whoever maintains you and sever ties with whoever severs you? Whoever maintains you has maintained Me, and whoever severs you has severed Me.'

✧ He gathered them at their anchorage during their naval expedition, on the ship of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari ؓ. He said: When our lunch was ready, we sent for Abu Ayyub al-Ansari ؓ and the people of his ship. Abu Ayyub came to us and said: 'You invited me while I am fasting, and it was incumbent upon me to answer you. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "A Muslim has six obligatory rights over a Muslim. Whoever abandons any of them has abandoned an obligatory right for his brother: to answer him when he invites him, to greet him when he meets him, to bless him when he sneezes, to visit him when he is ill, to follow his funeral when he dies, and to counsel him when he seeks counsel."'

✧ We went out to sea with Mu'awiyah ؓ, and our ship joined up with a ship in which Abu Ayyub ؓ was. When our food was ready, we sent for him and he came to us and said… and he mentioned the hadith. He said: There was with us a jester who would say to the man in charge of our food: 'O so-and-so, may Allah reward you with good and evil.' When he did that to him a lot, the man started getting angry with him and insulting him. The jester said: 'What do you say, Abu Ayyub, if I say: May Allah reward you with good and evil, and he insults me?' Abu Ayyub said: 'You said to him: We used to say: "Whoever good does not set right, evil will set right."' The jester said to the man: 'May Allah reward you with evil and shame.' The man laughed and was pleased, and said: 'Do not ever give up your jesting.' The jester said: 'May Allah reward Abu Ayyub with good, for he said to me.'

✧ Ishaq said: It was mentioned to us from Sufyan b. Husayn that he used to mention, meaning from al-Zuhri, from Abu Umamah, from his father ؓ, from the Prophet ﷺ something similar. I say: The route of Sufyan b. Husayn was transmitted with full chain by Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani, and Sufyan in his narration from al-Zuhri is weak, but it is strengthened by the narration of al-Walid from al-Awza'i.

✧ The believer is a branch of the believer. If he has a need, he should make an effort for him; he rejoices at his joy and grieves at his grief. He is the mirror of his brother; if he sees in him what he dislikes, he corrects him, straightens him, guides him, and disputes with him in private and in public.

He said: 'Would you like to enter Paradise?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Are your parents alive?' I said: 'I have my mother.'

✧ Obey your parents, even if they command you to leave your property. Do not abandon prayer deliberately, for whoever abandons prayer deliberately has disassociated himself from the protection of Allah, the Exalted. Beware of wine, for it is the key to every evil. Beware of disobedience, for it angers Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. Do not dispute authority with its people, even if you think that you are right. Spend on your family from your means, and do not raise your staff from them, and make them fear Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.

And if there is only one, and he wakes up treating him well, a gate of the gates of Paradise is opened for him, and none of them is angry with him or one of them, so he ؓ continues until he is pleased.” I said: “Even if he was wronging him?” He said: “Even if he was wronging him.”

✧ Al-Hudhayl b. Hafsah used to gather firewood in the summer and strip it, and take reeds and split them. Hafsah said: I used to feel cold, and he would come with the brazier until he placed it behind me while I was praying, though he had someone who could suffice him if he wished. He would light that stripped firewood and split reeds as fuel to warm me without the heat harming me. She said: Sometimes I wanted to turn to him and say: My son, go back to your family, then I would remember what he wanted and leave him be. He used to go on military expeditions and perform Hajj. He was struck by a fever when the Hajj was near, and he recovered, and I was not aware until he had entered the state of ihram for Hajj. I said: My son, it is as if you feared that I would prevent you; I would not do so. He said: She had a milch-camel, and he used to send me a portion of milk in the morning, and I would say: My son, you know that I do not drink it while I am fasting. He would say: O mother of al-Hudhayl, the best milk is that which has spent the night in the udder of the camels; give it to drink to whomever you wish. She said: When he died, God Almighty granted me patience as He willed, except that I felt a choking grief that would not go away. While I was praying one night, reciting Surah al-Nahl, I came to this verse: "And do not exchange the covenant of God for a small price. Indeed, what is with God is better for you, if only you knew. What is with you will perish, and what is with God will remain. And We will surely reward those who were patient with their reward according to the best of what they used to do." She said: I repeated it, and God removed what I had been feeling.

✧ "Whoever shelters an orphan from among the Muslims, bringing him into his food and drink until he is satisfied, Paradise becomes incumbent for him, unless he commits a sin that is not forgiven. And whoever supports three daughters, disciplining them and treating them well, Paradise becomes incumbent for him." They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, or two daughters?" He said, "Or two daughters," until if they had said, "One," he would have said, "One." "And whoever loses his two precious ones, his reward is upon Allah: Paradise." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are his two precious ones?" He ﷺ said, "His two eyes." Ibn Abbas ؓ, when he narrated this hadith, would say, "This is among the precious and outstanding hadiths." [Raised to the Prophet]

He repeated it to him a third or fourth time, then either he made him stand or sit. He ﷺ said: "That you meet your brother with a cheerful face." He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept commending good character, saying: "It is from Allah," and condemning bad character, saying: "It is from Satan." Then he said: "Do you not look at the redness of his eyes and the swelling of his jugular veins?"
