Sayyidah Buhaysah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates from her father (Sayyiduna, the father of Buhaysah, (may Allah be pleased with him)) that she said: My father sought permission (to come) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); then he entered from behind him (peace and blessings be upon him), between him and his blessed shirt, and clung to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and said: "O Prophet of Allah! What is the thing that it is not permissible to withhold (from others)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Water." He asked again: "O Prophet of Allah! What is the thing that it is not lawful to withhold?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Salt." He asked once more: "O Prophet of Allah! What is the thing that it is not lawful to withhold?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your doing good is better for you." The narrator said: That Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped at (the matter of) water and salt, and after that he never refused to give (even a small amount of) water, however little it might be.
