حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ، فَأَلْقَى لَهُ قَطِيفَةً فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا.
'Abdullah ibn Busr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, passed by 'Abdullah's father who threw the Prophet
a rug on which he sat.
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported his fasting was mentioned to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, "The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to visit me and I threw him
a leather cushion stuffed with palm fibre, but he sat on the ground. The
cushion remained between me and him. He asked me, 'Are three days every
month enough for you?' I said, 'Messenger of Allah!' He said, 'Five?' I
said, 'Messenger of Allah!' He said, Eleven?' I said, 'Messenger of Allah!'
Then he said, 'Do not exceed the fast of Da'ud. Half of the time. Fast
one day and break the fast the next.'"
Qayla related, "I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, sitting squatting. When I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, humble in his form of sitting, I trembled from fear."
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, forbade two types of dress and two sales transactions.
He forbade the sales transactions called mulamasa and
munabadha.*
The two types of dress are samma' ** and wrapping oneself up in
garment while sitting down without anything covering
the private parts."
