حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِقَالٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ أَنَسُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْمُعَافَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ بُخْتٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ، عَنْ أَسْوَدَ بْنِ أَصْرَمَ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ بِإِبِلٍ لَهُ سِمَانٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي زَمَنٍ قَحْلٍ وَجَدُوبٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَجِبُوا مِنْ سِمَنِهَا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهَا، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «لِمَ جَلَبْتَ إِبِلَكَ هَذِهِ؟» قَالَ: أَرَدْتُ بِهَا خَادِمًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ عِنْدَهَ خَادِمٌ؟» فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: عِنْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «فَائْتِ بِهَا» فَجَاءَ بِهَا عُثْمَانُ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَسْوَدُ قَالَ: مِثْلَهَا أُرِيدُ، فَقَالَ: «عِنْدَكَ فَخُذْهَا» فَأَخَذَهَا أَسْوَدُ وَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِبِلَهُ، فَقَالَ أَسْوَدُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوْصِنِي، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَمْلِكُ لِسَانَكَ؟» قَالَ: فَمَا أَمْلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْهُ؟ قَالَ: «أَفَتَمْلِكُ يَدَكَ؟» قَالَ: فَمَاذَا أَمْلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ يَدِي؟ قَالَ: «فَلَا تَقُلْ بِلِسَانِكَ إِلَّا مَعْرُوفًا، وَلَا تَبْسُطْ يَدَكَ إِلَّا إِلَى خَيْرٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aswad bin Asram al-Muharibi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to Madinah with his fat camels at a time of famine and drought. When the people of Madinah saw them, they were amazed at how fat they were. So I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for the camels, and they were brought. He (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to them, looked at them and asked: "Why have you brought these camels?" He said: "I wanted a servant in exchange for them." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who has a servant?" Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have one, O Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring her." Sayyiduna Uthman brought her, and when Aswad saw her he said: "I want one like her." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She is yours, so take her." So Aswad took her, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took his camels. Then Aswad said: "O Messenger of Allah! Advise me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have control over your tongue?" He said: "If I do not have control over my tongue, then what will I have control over?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then do you have control over your hand?" He said: "If I do not have control over my hand, then what will I have control over?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then do not say anything with your tongue except what is good, and do not stretch out your hand except towards what is good."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْمَقْدِسِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ثنا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَسْوَدُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوْصِنِي، قَالَ: «تَمْلِكُ يَدَكَ؟» قُلْتُ: فَمَاذَا أَمْلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ يَدِي؟ قَالَ: «تَمْلِكُ لِسَانَكَ؟» قَالَ: فَمَاذَا أَمْلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ لِسَانِي؟ قَالَ: «لَا تَبْسُطْ يَدَكَ إِلَّا إِلَى خَيْرٍ، وَلَا تَقُلْ بِلِسَانِكَ إِلَّا مَعْرُوفًا»
