كتاب الأمور المنهي عنها

Chapter 57: Undesirability of Quarrelling or Raising voices in the Mosque

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone hears a man inquiring in the mosque about something he has lost, he should say: 'La raddaha Allahu 'alaika (May Allah not restore it to you),' for mosques are not built for this purpose."[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Messenger of Allah said, "When you see someone buying or selling in the mosque, say to him: 'La arbaha-Allahu tijarataka (May Allah not make your bargain profitable)!' When you see someone announcing something lost in it, say: 'May Allah not restore it to you!"'[At-Tirmidhi].

Chapter 58: Undesirability of Entering the Mosque after Eating raw Onion or Garlic

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who has eaten garlic should not come to our mosque."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].The narration in Muslim is: "He who has eaten garlic should not come to our mosques."

It has been narrated that 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said in the sermon of Friday prayer

"O you people! You eat garlic and onion. I think the odour of these to be very offensive. I saw that if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to find a man with such offensive odour in the mosque, he would order him to be taken out of the mosque and sent to Al-Baqi'. He who wants to eat any of these, should cook them till their odour dies out.[Muslim].

Chapter 61: Prohibition of Swearing in the name of anything besides Allah

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said

I heard a man saying: "No, by the Ka'bah." I admonished him: "Do not swear by any thing besides Allah, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, 'He who swears by anyone or anything other than Allah, has indeed committed an act of Kufr or Shirk'."[At- Tirmidhi].[Some 'Ulama' are of the opinion that the words of the Prophet (ﷺ) that "He who swears by anyone or anything other than Allah has indeed committed an act of Kufr or Shirk," are in the nature of extreme admonition. And in fact, it is not Shirk. The same applies to the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ), who said, "showing off is Shirk."]

Chapter 62: Illegality of Swearing Falsely

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-As (May Allah be pleased with them) said

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of the major sins are: Associating anything in worship with Allah, disobedience to the parents, killing without justification and taking a false oath (intentionally)."[Al- Bukhari].Another narration is: A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him: "O Messenger of Allah, what are the cardinal sins?" He (ﷺ) replied, "Associating anything with Allah in worship." The man asked: "(What is) next?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus." He asked: "What do you mean by Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "Swearing falsely to usurp the property of a Muslim."

Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) said

Chapter 69: Undesirability of Reviling Fever

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited Umm Sa'ib (or Umm Musaiyyab) and asked her, "What ails you O Umm Sa'ib (or Umm Musaiyyab)? You are shivering." She replied: "It is a fever, may Allah not bless it!" He said to her, "Do not revile fever, for it cleanses out the sins of the sons of Adam in the same way that a furnace removes the dirt of iron."[Muslim].

Chapter 72: Prohibition of Attributing Rain to the Stars

Zaid bin Khalid (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led the Fajr prayer at Al-Hudaibiyyah after a rainfall during the night. At the conclusion of prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "Do you know what your Rubb has said?" They replied: "Allah and His Messenger know better." Upon this he remarked, "He has said: 'Some of My slaves have entered the morning as My believers and some as unbelievers. He who said: We have had a rainfall due to the Grace and Mercy of Allah, believes in Me and disbelieves in the stars; and he who said: We have had a rainfall due to the rising of such and such star, disbelieves in Me and affirms his faith in the stars."'[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should say: 'My soul has become evil.' He should say: 'My soul is in bad shape."'[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Chapter 77: Undesirability of Calling Grapes 'Al-Karm'

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "None of you should use the word Al-Karm for grapes, for Al-Karm is a Muslim (worthy of respect)."[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]Another narration is: "Verily, Al-Karm is the heart of a true believer."Another narration is: "People have named grapes as Al-Karm; verily, only the heart of a believer is Al-Karm."

Wa'il bin Hujr (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not say Al-Karm when talking about grapes but say Al-'Inab or Al-Habalah."[Muslim].

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "No Salat (prayer) should be performed when the food has been served, nor should it be performed when a person is in need of relieving himself."[Muslim].

Chapter 97: Undesirability of Intercession in Hudud

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported

The Quraish were anxious about a woman from Banu Makhzum who had committed theft and asked : "Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about her?" Then they said: "No one will be bold enough to do so except Usamah bin Zaid, the (Companion who was) dearly loved by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." So Usamah (May Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (angrily) said, "Are you interceding regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah?" He then got up and delivered an address in which he said, "Indeed what destroyed the people before you was just that when a person of high rank among them committed a theft, they spared him; but if the same crime was done by a poor person they inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. I swear by Allah that if Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].In another narration 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: (Upon hearing the intercession of Usamah), the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) changed color (because of anger) and he said, "Do you dare to intercede in matters prescribed by Allah?" Usamah pleaded: "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for my forgiveness." 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) added: Thereafter the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave orders to have that woman's hand cut off.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "None of you should point at his brother with a weapon because he does not know that Satan may make it lose from his hand and, as a result, he may fall into a pit of Hell-fire (by accidentally killing him)."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].The narration in Muslim is: Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said, "He who points at his (Muslim) brother with a weapon is cursed by the angels even if the other person should be his real brother."
