'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal al-Muzani said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade slings. He said, 'They
do not kill game nor injure the enemy. They gouge the eye and break the
teeth.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ لأَبِي قَتَادَةَ: مَا لَكَ لاَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَمَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ فَلْيُسَهِّلْ لِجَنْبِهِ مَضْجَعًا مِنَ النَّارِ، وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَيَمْسَحُ الأرْضَ بِيَدِهِ.
Usayd ibn Abi Usayd reported that his mother said, "I said to Abu
Qatada, 'Why don't you relate something from the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace?' Abu Qatada said, 'I heard the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever tells
lies about me, eases the way for himself to a bed in the Fire." When the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said that,
he began to wipe his hand on the ground.'"
Abu Hurayra said, "A fierce wind blew when the people were on the
road to Makka while 'Umar was making hajj. 'Umar asked those around him,
'What is the wind?' They did not give any answer. I urged my camel forward
and I caught up with him and said, 'I have heard that you asked about the
wind. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "The wind (reeh) is from the spirit (ruh) of Allah. It
brings mercy and it brings punishment. Do not curse it. Ask Allah for the
good of it and seek refuge from its evil."'"
'Ali said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was in a funeral procession an he picked up something and began to scratch
the ground with it. He said, 'There is none of you who does not have his
seat written either in the Fire or in the Garden.' They said, 'Messenger
of Allah, then should we not rely on what is written for us and abandon
action?' 'Act.' he said. 'Every thing is easy if you were created for it.'
He added, 'As for someone who is one of the people of happiness, it is
easy for him to perform the actions of happiness. As for someone who is
one of the people of wretchedness, it is easy for him to perform the actions
of wretchedness.' Then he recited, 'As for him who gives out and has
taqwa and confirms the Good' (92:5-10)
