Hadith 297
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَرَّادٌ كَاتِبُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ: كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ: أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُغِيرَةُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ، وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ، وَكَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ، وَعَنْ مَنْعٍ وَهَاتِ، وَعُقُوقِ الأُمَّهَاتِ، وَعَنْ وَأْدِ الْبَنَاتِ.
It is narrated from Warad that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) asking him to write any hadith he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade idle talk and gossip, wasting wealth, and excessive questioning. He also forbade withholding (charity), demanding from people, disobedience to mothers, and burying daughters alive.
