The Book of Virtue, Enjoining Good Manners, and Joining of the Ties of Kinship

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us; Abu Usamah narrated to us, from al-Walid ibn Kathir, from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Ata, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Abu Said and Abu Huraira, who both heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: No illness, fatigue, sickness, or sadness afflicts a believer—not even worry that troubles him—but some of his sins are expiated through it.

Qutaybah ibn Said and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah both reported from Ibn Uyaynah; the wording is Qutaybah. Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Muhaysin, a Qurayshi elder who heard Muhammad ibn Qays ibn Makhramah relate from Abu Huraira, who said: When the verse “Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it” was revealed, it weighed heavily on the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aim for what is right and be moderate. Everything that afflicts a Muslim is an expiation, even a misfortune that befalls him or a thorn that pricks him. Muslim said: He is Umar ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhaysin, from the people of Mecca.

Ubayd Allah ibn Umar al-Qawariri narrated to me; Yazid ibn Zuray narrated to us; al-Hajjaj al-Sawwaf narrated to us; Abu al-Zubayr narrated to me; Jabir ibn Abd Allah narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) visited Umm al-Saib—or Umm al-Musayyib—and said: What is the matter, Umm al-Saib—or Umm al-Musayyib? Why are you trembling? She said: It is the fever; may Allah not bless it. He said: Do not curse the fever, for it removes the sins of the children of Adam just as a furnace removes impurities from iron.

Ubayd Allah ibn Umar al-Qawariri narrated to us; Yahya ibn Said and Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal narrated to us; they said: Imran Abu Bakr narrated to us; Ata ibn Abi Rabah narrated to me. Ibn Abbas said to me: Shall I show you a woman from the people of Paradise? I said: Yes. He said: This black woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I suffer seizures and become uncovered; pray to Allah for me. He said: If you wish, be patient, and Paradise will be yours; or, if you wish, I will pray to Allah to cure you. She said: I will be patient. She said: I become uncovered, so pray to Allah that I not become uncovered. He prayed for her.

Abd Allah ibn Maslamah ibn Qanab narrated to us; Dawud—that is, Ibn Qays—narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah ibn Miqsam, from Jabir ibn Abd Allah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware of injustice, for injustice will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection. Beware of greed, for greed destroyed those who came before you: it drove them to shed blood and to make lawful what was forbidden to them.

Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated to me; Shababah narrated to us; Abd al-Aziz al-Majishun narrated to us, from Abd Allah ibn Dinar, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Injustice will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection.

Qutaybah ibn Said narrated to us; Layth narrated to us, from Uqayl, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not wrong him or abandon him. Whoever is concerned with his brother needs, Allah will be concerned with his needs. Whoever relieves a Muslim of a distress, Allah will relieve him of a distress among the distresses of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection.

Qutaybah ibn Said and Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Ismail—that is, Ibn Jafar—narrated to us, from al-Ala, from his father, from Abu Huraira, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know who is bankrupt? They said: The bankrupt among us is one who has neither money nor goods. He said: The bankrupt person from my community is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and zakat, but has insulted this person, slandered that person, consumed this person property, shed that person blood, and struck that person. So some of his good deeds are given to this one and some to that one. If his good deeds run out before he has repaid what he owes, some of their sins are taken and placed upon him, then he is cast into the Fire.

Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah, and Ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Ismail—that is, Ibn Jafar—narrated to us, from al-Ala, from his father, from Abu Huraira, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, you will surely give people their due rights, until even the hornless sheep will receive retribution from the horned sheep.

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us; Abu Muawiyah narrated to us; Burayd ibn Abi Burdah narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, gives the unjust person respite, but when He seizes him, He does not let him escape. Then he recited: Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are wrongdoing; indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
