Hadith 372

372 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ تَقُولُ: بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ: «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ» فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَايِعْنَا فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي لَا أُصَافِحُكُنَّ إِنَّمَا آخُذُ عَلَيْكُنَّ مَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»
Shahr bin Hawshab narrates: I heard Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) saying: I, along with some women, pledged allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said: "I will not shake hands with you. I have taken from you the pledge that Allah, the Exalted, was to take" (or as Allah, the Exalted, had commanded).

Benefits and Issues:

Offering food to those present while eating is a good habit.


When food is offered, one should not hesitate to accept it if hungry.


If not hungry, there is no harm in not accepting such an offer. One should express gratitude; however, it is better to take a bite or two.


Lying is not good even in situations of formality. One should adopt some other appropriate manner for excusing oneself.
