Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and said, “O Messenger of Allah! I may soon not be able to join the prayer (in congregation), because so-and-so leads us in very lengthy prayers.” Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “I have never seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) more angry in giving advice than he was that day.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O people! You are those who make others dislike (the religion) (see?), whoever leads the people in prayer should lighten it (i.e., make it short in every posture), because among the followers are the sick, the weak, and those who have needs.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the ruling regarding a lost (unclaimed) item. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Recognize its binding," or he said, "its container and its pouch (recognize them), then announce it for a year (i.e., search for its real owner). After that (if no owner is found), benefit from it, and if its owner comes (even after a year), then hand it over to him." Then that man asked, "What about a lost camel (if found, what should be done)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became angry until both his blessed cheeks turned red, or (the narrator said) his blessed face turned red, and he said: "What have you to do with that camel? Its water bag and its shoes are with it, it will reach water (and drink), and eat (leaves) from the trees, so leave it until its owner finds it." Then that man asked, "What about a lost goat (is it permissible to take it)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(Take it, because) it is for you, or for your brother, or (if it does not come into anyone's hands) then for the wolf."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that (on one occasion) some questions were asked to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) which were contrary to his temperament. (So he did not give any answer, but) when there was a flood of such questions before him, he became angry and said: "Ask me whatever you wish." So a man said, "Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your father is Hudhafah." Then another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your father is Salim, the slave of Shaybah." Then when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the signs of anger on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! We repent to Allah, the Most Great and Exalted (meaning, we will never ask you such questions again)."
