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.'"
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?'"
Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Whoever fashions an image will have to breathe
life into it and he will be punished since he will not be able to breathe
life into it. Anyone who claims to have seen a vision in a dream will have
to string two beads of barely together and he will be punished because
he will not be able to string them together. Anyone who listens to people's
conversation when they move away from him will have molten lead poured
into his ears."
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.'"
