Whispering, frightening a Muslim, hearsay, and prohibition of nudity

This excerpt is taken from Sheikh Hussain bin Mubarak Al-Mosuli's Arabic book Al-Awamer wal Nawaahi, which was translated into Urdu by Muhammad Sarwar Gohar Sahib under the title Ahkamaat o Mamnooat.


It is forbidden for two people to whisper in the presence of a third person​

​

① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
إذا كانوا ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون الثالث
"When there are three people, two should not whisper excluding the third."
Reference: Bukhari, Book of Seeking Permission 6288, Muslim, Book of Peace 2183/36.

② It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
إذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون الآخر حتى تختلطوا بالناس من أجل أن ذلك يحزنه، ولا تباشر المرأة المرأة فتصفها لزوجها كأنه ينظر إليها
"When you are three people, two should not whisper excluding the third, until he mingles with the people. This (two whispering excluding the third) will cause distress for him. And a woman should not conspire with another woman to convey his (the man's) matters to her husband as if he (the man) is watching her (the woman)."
Reference: Bukhari, Book of Seeking Permission 6290, Muslim, Book of Peace 38 / 2184.


Prohibition of frightening a Muslim​

​

① Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Layla, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that the companions of Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us that they were traveling at night with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and one of them fell asleep. Some of them took his rope and started walking; he caught hold of it and became frightened. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
لا يحل لمسلم أن يروع مسلما
“It is not permissible for a Muslim to frighten another Muslim.”
Reference: Abu Dawood, Kitab al-Adab 5004, Musnad Ahmad, remaining Musnad al-Ansar 424/5, Hadith 23128.

② Abdullah bin Saib bin Yazid narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
لا يأخذ أحدكم متاع أخيه لاعبا جادا
“None of you should carry his brother’s belongings, neither as a joke nor seriously.”
Reference: Abu Dawood, Kitab al-Adab 5003, Musnad Ahmad, Musnad al-Shamiyin 271/4, Hadith 17964.


Prohibition of narrating everything one hears​

​

① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
كفى بالمرء إثما أن يحدث بكل ما يسمع
"It is sufficient for a man to be a sinner that he narrates everything he hears."
Reference: Abu Dawood, Book of Manners 4992, these are his words.

Its original wording in Sahih Muslim is: "It is sufficient for a man to be a liar that he narrates everything he hears."

Prohibition of Being Naked​

​

① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
إياكم والتعري فإن معكم من لا يفارقكم إلا عند الغائط، وحين يفضي الرجل إلى أهله فاستحيوهم وأكرموهم
"Avoid being naked because the angels who are with you leave you when you go to the toilet and when a man goes to his wife, otherwise they remain with you, so respect them and honor them."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Manners 2800.
