بَابُ هَلْ يَقُولُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟
Chapter: Should one ask: Where have you come from?
Hadith 1157
حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُحِدَّ الرَّجُلُ النَّظَرَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ، أَوْ يُتْبِعَهُ بَصَرَهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، أَوْ يَسْأَلَهُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ، وَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟
It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that he disliked looking at a Muslim brother with sharp eyes. Similarly, when he got up to leave, he disliked watching him from behind (to see where he was going). He also disliked asking, "Where have you come from and where are you going?"
Hadith 1158
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ زُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: مَرَرْنَا عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: مِنْ مَكَّةَ، أَوْ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ، قَالَ: هَذَا عَمَلُكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَمَا مَعَهُ تِجَارَةٌ وَلاَ بَيْعٌ؟ قُلْنَا: لاَ، قَالَ: اسْتَأْنِفُوا الْعَمَلَ.
It is narrated from Malik bin Zubayd, may Allah have mercy on him, that we passed by the place of Rabdhah near Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, so he asked: Where have you come from? We said: We are coming from Makkah or Bayt al-Atiq. He said: Was that your only purpose? We said: Yes. He said: Was there no other purpose of trade or buying and selling along with it? We said: No. He said: Now start your deeds afresh (Allah has forgiven all previous sins).
