"Not even for your whip when you drop it. You must dismount and get it yourself.”
Thauban reported God’s messenger as saying,
"If anyone guarantees me that he will not beg from people, I will guarantee him paradise.”
Thauban said that he would, and he never asked anyone for anything.
Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying,
"If I had gold to the extent of Uhud I would not like to keep any of it more than three days, except what I put aside to pay a debt.”
