Hadith 296
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الصَّوَّافِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرٌ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ؟“ قُلْنَا: جُدُّ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَلَى أَنَّا نُبَخِّلُهُ، قَالَ: ”وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ أَدْوَى مِنَ الْبُخْلِ؟ بَلْ سَيِّدُكُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ“، وَكَانَ عَمْرٌو عَلَى أَصْنَامِهِمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ يُولِمُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Banu Salamah! Who is your chief?" We replied: Jad bin Qais, although we consider him to be miserly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Is there any disease greater than miserliness? Rather, your chief is Amr bin Jamuh." And Amr bin Jamuh, in the time of ignorance, used to be the caretaker of their idols. Later, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would marry, he (Amr bin Jamuh) would arrange the wedding feast on his behalf.
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.
Hadith 298
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا: مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ فَقَالَ: لَا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever anything was asked from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he never said, "I will not give it."
