حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لَهُ : لَقَدْ عَلَّمَكُمْ نَبِيُّكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى الْخِرَاءَةَ ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، لَقَدْ " نَهَانَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ ، وَأَنْ لا نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِالْيَمِينِ ، وَأَنْ لا يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ ، أَوْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِرَجِيعٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ " .
Narrated Salman al-Farsi: It was said to Salman: Your Prophet teaches you everything, even about excrement. He replied: Yes. He has forbidden us to face the qiblah at the time of easing or urinating, and cleansing with right hand, and cleansing with less than three stones, or cleansing with dung or bone.
Hadith 1488
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَيْمُونٍ صَاحِبَ الْأَنْمَاطِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ،عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا " .
Narrated Salman al-Farsi: The Prophet ﷺ said: Your Lord is munificent and generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him.
Hadith 3761
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ : أَنَّ بَرَكَةَ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : بَرَكَةُ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ وَالْوُضُوءُ بَعْدَهُ " ، وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ يَكْرَهُ الْوُضُوءَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Narrated Salman al-Farsi: I read in the Torah that the blessing of food consists in ablution before it. So I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: The blessing of food consists in ablution before it and ablution after it. Sufyan disapproved of performing ablution before taking food. Abu Dawud said: It is weak.
Hadith 3813
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : " سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْجَرَادِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : أَكْثَرُ جُنُودِ اللَّهِ ، لَا آكُلُهُ ، وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ الْمُعْتَمِرُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ سَلْمَانَ .
Narrated Salman al-Farsi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about (eating) locusts. He replied: They are the most numerous of Allah's hosts. I neither eat them nor declare them unlawful.
Hadith 3814
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَوَّامِ الْجَزَّارِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَكْثَرُ جُنْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : اسْمُهُ فَائِدٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْعَوَّامِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ سَلْمَانَ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Salman through a different chain of narrators. This version goes: Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about locusts. He replied in a similar way (as mentioned above) saying: The most numerous of Allah’s host. The narrator Ali said: His name is Fa’id, that is the name of al-Awwam. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Hammad bin Salamah, from Abu al-Awwam from Abu uthman, from the Prophet ﷺ. He did not mention salman (i. e., the companions).
Hadith 4659
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْمَاصِرُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ بِالْمَدَائِنِ ، فَكَانَ يَذْكُرُ أَشْيَاءَ قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْغَضَبِ ، فَيَنْطَلِقُ نَاسٌ مِمَّنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَأْتُونَ سَلْمَانَ فَيَذْكُرُونَ لَهُ قَوْلَ حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَقُولُ سَلْمَانُ : حُذَيْفَةُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُ ، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ : قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا قَوْلَكَ لِسَلْمَانَ فَمَا صَدَّقَكَ وَلَا كَذَّبَكَ ، فَأَتَى حُذَيْفَةُ سَلْمَانَ وَهُوَ فِي مَبْقَلَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا سَلْمَانُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُصَدِّقَنِي بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْضَبُ ، فَيَقُولُ فِي الْغَضَبِ لِنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، وَيَرْضَى فَيَقُولُ فِي الرِّضَا لِنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ : أَمَا تَنْتَهِي حَتَّى تُوَرِّثَ رِجَالًا حُبَّ رِجَالٍ ، وَرِجَالًا بُغْضَ رِجَالٍ ، وَحَتَّى تُوقِعَ اخْتِلَافًا وَفُرْقَةً ، وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ : أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبَبْتُهُ سَبَّةً أَوْ لَعَنْتُهُ لَعْنَةً فِي غَضَبِي ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا مِنْ وَلَدِ آدَمَ أَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُونَ ، وَإِنَّمَا بَعَثَنِي رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ ، فَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَاةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَتَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَوْ لَأَكْتُبَنَّ إِلَى عُمَرَ " .
Amr bin Abl Qurrah said: Hudhaifah was in al-Mada’in. He used to mention things which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to some people from among his Companions in anger. The people who heard from Hudhaifah would go to Salman and tell him what Hudhaifah said. Salman would say: Hudhaifah knows best what he says. Then they would come to Hudhaifah and tell him: We mentioned Salman what you said, but he neither testified you nor falsified you. So Hudhaifah came to salman who was in his vegetable farm, and said: Salman, what prevents you from testifying me of what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sometimes would be angry, and said in anger something to some of his Companions; he would be sometimes pleased and said in pleasure something to some of his Companions. Would you not stop until you create love of some people in the hearts of some people, and hatred of some people in the hearts of some people, and until you generate disagreement and dissension? You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed, saying: If I abused any person of my people, or cursed him in my anger. I am one of the children of Adam: I become angry as they become angry. He (Allah) has sent me as a mercy for all worlds. (O Allah!) make them (Abuse or curse) blessing for them on the day of judgment! I swear by Allah. You should stop (mentioning these traditions), otherwise I shall writ to Umar.
