حَدِیث شَیخ مِن بَنِی سَلِیط
Hadith of a shaykh from Banu Sulayt
Hadith 16624
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ ، أَنَّ شَيْخًا مِنْ بَنِي سَلِيطٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُكَلِّمُهُ فِي سَبْيٍ أُصِيبَ لَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَعَلَيْهِ حَلْقَةٌ قَدْ أَطَافَتْ بِهِ ، وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ ، عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ قِطْرٌ لَهُ غَلِيظٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ يُشِيرُ بِأُصْبَعِهِ : " الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ ، التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا ، التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا " ، يَقُولُ : أَيْ فِي الْقَلْبِ .
It is narrated from a Sheikh of Banu Sulait that once I came to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to discuss those of my captives who had been captured during the time of ignorance. At that time, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was sitting and people had formed a circle around him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was wearing a thick waistcloth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was gesturing with his fingers. I heard him saying: A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he neither oppresses him nor leaves him helpless. Taqwa is here, Taqwa is here, that is, in the heart.
