حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْمُؤَدِّبُ ثنا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٍ بِشَمْلَةٍ قَدْ وَقَعَ هُدْبُهَا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ وَفِيَّ جَفَاؤُهُمْ فَأَوْصِنِي؟ قَالَ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ مُبْسَطٌ وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا فِيكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَكَ أَجْرُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ» وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَلَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا فَمَا سَبَبْتُ بَعْدَهُ أَحَدًا وَلَا شَاةً وَلَا بَعِيرًا

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting wrapped in a cloak whose fringe had fallen onto his feet. I said: Which of you is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah? He pointed with his hand to himself. I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I am from the desert people and I have their roughness, so advise me. He said: "Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face, even pouring from your bucket into the vessel of one seeking water. If a man reviles you for something he knows about you, do not revile him for something you know about him, for the reward will be yours and the sin will be his." And beware of letting your garment hang down, for letting the garment hang down is from pride, and Allah does not love pride. Do not curse anyone." After that I never cursed anyone, nor a sheep, nor a camel.
