Hadith of a man from his people

حديث رجل من قومه

Hadith 372:1

Abu al-Nadr narrated to us, he said: al-Hakam ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from Khalid al-Hadhdha’, from Abu Tamimah, from a man of his people, that he came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), or he said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and a man came to him and said: Are you the Messenger of Allah? Or he said: Are you Muhammad? He said: "Yes." He said: To what do you call? He said: "I call to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, alone; He who, if harm befalls you and you call upon Him, He removes it from you; and He who, if a year of drought strikes you and you call upon Him, He causes [crops] to grow for you; and He who, if you are in a desolate land and you lose your way and you call upon Him, He returns it to you." He said: So the man accepted Islam, then said: Advise me, O Messenger of Allah. He said to him: "Do not insult anything," or he said: "anyone" (al-Hakam was uncertain). He said: So I have not insulted a camel nor a sheep since the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) advised me. "And do not belittle any good deed, even if it is [by] smiling at your brother while you are speaking to him. And pour from your bucket into the vessel of the one seeking water. And wrap your lower garment to the middle of the shin; if you refuse, then to the ankles. And beware of letting the lower garment hang low, for it is of arrogance, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, does not love arrogance."

حدثنا أبو النضر، قال: حدثنا الحكم بن فضيل ، عن خالد الحذاء، عن أبي تميمة، عن رجل من قومه، أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، أو قال: شهدت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأتاه رجل فقال: أنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ أو قال: أنت محمد؟ فقال: " نعم "، قال: فإلام تدعو ؟ قال: " أدعو إلى الله عز وجل وحده، من إذا كان بك ضر فدعوته كشفه عنك، ومن إذا أصابك عام سنة فدعوته أنبت لك، ومن إذا كنت في أرض قفر فأضللت فدعوته رد عليك "، قال: فأسلم الرجل ثم قال: أوصني يا رسول الله، قال له : " لا تسبن شيئا "، أو قال: " أحدا " شك الحكم قال: فما سببت بعيرا ولا شاة منذ أوصاني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، " ولا تزهد في المعروف ولو منبسط وجهك إلى أخيك وأنت تكلمه، وأفرغ من دلوك في إناء المستسقي، واتزر إلى نصف الساق، فإن أبيت فإلى الكعبين، وإياك وإسبال الإزار، فإنها من المخيلة، والله تبارك وتعالى لا يحب المخيلة "
