It has been reported on the authority of Abdul Rahman bin Shumasa who said: I came to A'isha to inquire something from her. She said: From which people art thou? I said: I am from the people of Egypt. She said: What was the behaviour of your governor towards you in this war of yours? I said: We did not experience anything bad from him. If the camel of a man from us died, he would bestow on him a camel. If any one of us lost his slave, he would give him a slave. If anybody was in need of the basic necessities of life, he would provide them with provisions. She said: Behold! the treatment that was meted out to my brother, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr, does not prevent me from telling you what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He said in this house of mine: O God, who (happens to) acquire some kind of control over the affairs of my people and is hard upon them-be Thou hard upon him, and who (happens to) acquire some kind of control over the affairs of my people and is kind to them-be Thou kind to him.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abdul Rahman bin Shumasa with another chain of transmitters.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: You would soon conquer a land where people are in the habit of using foul language. They have a right of kinship upon you. And when you see two persons fighting for the space of a brick, then get out of that. He (Abu Dharr) then happened to pass by Rabila and 'Abdul Rahman, the two sons of Shurahbil bin Hasana, and they had been disputing for the space of a brick. So he left the land.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: You would soon conquer Egypt and that is a land which is known (as the land of al-qirat). So when you conquer it, treat its inhabitants well. For there lies upon you the responsibility because of blood-tie or relationship of marriage (with them). And when you see two persons falling into dispute amongst themselves for the space of a brick, than get out of that. He (Abu Dharr) said: I saw Abdul Rahman bin Shurahbil bin Hasana and his brother Rabi'ah disputing with one another for the space of a brick. So I left that (land).
