Hadith of al-Mughira ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 18179 — Hadith of al-Mughira ibn Shu'bah
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَشْوَعَ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي كَاتِبُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنْ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَرِهَ لَكُمْ : قِيلَ وَقَالَ ، وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ ، وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ " .
Once, Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) asking him to write something he had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). In reply, he wrote: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah dislikes three things for you: idle talk, excessive questioning, and wasting wealth.
