Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Beware of suspicion. Suspicion is the worst type of lie. Do not spy. Do not fight one another. Do not try
to ensnare one another (in sales). Do not envy each other. Do not hate one another. Be slaves of
Allah and brothers."
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'People will continue to ask about things
that do not exist to such an extent that they will say, "Allah created
everything, so who created Allah?"'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ، فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: يَا فُلاَنُ، إِنَّ هَذِهِ زَوْجَتِي فُلاَنَةٌ، قَالَ: مَنْ كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ بِهِ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ بِكَ، قَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ.
Anas said, "While the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was with one of his wives, a man passed by and the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, called him and said, 'So-and-so, this
is my wife so-and-so.' The man said, 'Whoever I might suspect, I would
not suspect you!' The Prophet said, 'Shaytan flows in the son of Adam like
blood flows.'"
Shahr ibn Hawshab said, "Me and my maternal aunt visited 'A'isha
and said, 'Sometimes something occurs to one of us such that, if he had
spoken about it, that would have been the end of his hopes for the Next
World. If it were to be revealed, he would be killed for it.' She said
the takbir three times and then said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was asked about that and said, "If that
happens to one of you, he should say the takbir three times. Only a believer
feels that.'"
