Hadith 1040
وحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ " مُزْعَةُ " .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of the brother of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters, but no mention has been made of the word "muz'a" (piece).
Hadith 1040
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وَجْهِهِ مُزْعَةُ لَحْمٍ " .
Hamza bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) heard his father say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said: The person would continue begging from people till he would come on the Day of Resurrection and there would be no flesh on his face.
Hadith 1041
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَوَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ تَكَثُّرًا ، فَإِنَّمَا يَسْأَلُ جَمْرًا ، فَلْيَسْتَقِلَّ أَوْ لِيَسْتَكْثِرْ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who begs the riches of others to increase his own is asking only for live coals, so let him ask a little or much.
Hadith 1042
حَدَّثَنِي هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيَحْطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ، فَيَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ مَنَعَهُ ذَلِكَ ، فَإِنَّ الْيَدَ الْعُلْيَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) is reported to have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: It is better for one among you to bring a load of firewood on his back and give charity out of it (and satisfy his own need) and be independent of people, than that he should beg from people, whether they give him anything or refuse him. Verily the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin (charity) with your dependants.
Hadith 1042
وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيَحْطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهُ " ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ بَيَانٍ .
Qais bin Abu Hizam reported: We came to Abu Hurairah (RA) and he told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: By Allah, (it is better) that one among you should go and bring a load of firewood on his back and he should sell it, and the rest of the hadith was narrated (like the previous one).
Hadith 1042
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْ يَحْتَزِمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُزْمَةً مِنْ حَطَبٍ ، فَيَحْمِلَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهَا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلًا يُعْطِيهِ أَوْ يَمْنَعُهُ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: It is better for any one of you to tie a bundle of firewood and carry it on his back and sell it than to beg a person, he may give or may refuse.
Hadith 1043
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وَقَالَ الدَّارِمِيُّ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَرْوَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْحَبِيبُ الْأَمِينُ ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَحَبِيبٌ إِلَيَّ ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ عِنْدِي فَأَمِينٌ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِسْعَةً أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةً أَوْ سَبْعَةً ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ " ، وَكُنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِبَيْعَةٍ ، فَقُلْنَا : قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ " ، فَقُلْنَا : قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ " ، قَالَ : فَبَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا ، وَقُلْنَا : قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَعَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ ؟ قَالَ : " عَلَى أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ، وَالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ وَتُطِيعُوا ، وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً ، وَلَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ ، يَسْقُطُ سَوْطُ أَحَدِهِمْ ، فَمَا يَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا يُنَاوِلُهُ إِيَّاهُ " .
Malik al-Ashja'i reported: We, nine, eight or seven men, were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) -while we had recently pledged allegiance. So we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) And we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) We stretched our hands and said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. Now tell (on what things) should we pledge allegiance to you. He said: you must pledge allegiance that you would worship Allah only and would not associate with Him anything, (and observe) five prayers, and obey- (and he said one thing in an undertone) -that you would not beg people of anything. (And as a consequence of that) I saw that some of these people did not ask anyone to pick up the whip for them if it fell down.
