Mujahid said, "It is disliked for a man to look sharply at his
brother or to follow him with his glance when he leaves or to ask him,
'Where have you come from and where are you going?'"
Aslam said, "'Umar said to me, 'If I send you to a man, do not
tell him why I sent you to him. If you do, Shaytan will prepare a lie for
him in that.'"
Malik ibn Zubayd said, "We passed by Abu Dharr at ar-Rabadha.
He said, 'Where have you come from?' We said, 'Makka - or from the
Ancient House.' He said, 'Is this what you have done?' We said, 'Yes.'
He said, 'And was there commerce or selling with it?' 'No,' he replied.
He said, 'Then resume your actions anew.'"
Abu Hurayra described the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, with the words, "He was of medium height, but
nearer to being tall. He was very white with a black beard and good front
teeth. He had long eye-lashes. He was very broad between the shoulders
and had full cheeks. He walked on his entire foot, but they did not have
a hollow. He turned completely towards people or turned his back completely.
I have not seen anyone like him before or since.'"
