46. Abu Usayd as-Sa'idi alimwalika Mtume ﷺ kwenye harusi yake. Mke wake, ambaye ndiye bibi harusi, aliwahudumia siku hiyo. Alisema, "Je, mnajua nilimhudumia nini Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ? Nilimpa tende zilizokuwa zimelowekwa kwenye chungu usiku kucha."

46. Abu Usayd as-Sa'idi invited the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to his wedding. His wife, who was the bride, served them that day. She said, "Do you know what I served the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace? I served him some dates which had been infused in a pot overnight."

747. Nu'aym bin Qa'nab alisema: "Nilimwendea Abu Dharr lakini sikumkuta nyumbani. Nilimuuliza mkewe: 'Abu Dharr yuko wapi?' 'Anakwenda kuchukua vitu vya nyumbani. Atarudi punde.' Nilikaa nikimsubiri, naye akaja akiwa na ngamia wawili. Mmoja wao alikuwa amefungwa nyuma ya mwingine, na kila ngamia alikuwa na kiriba cha maji shingoni mwake. Abu Dharr akavitua. Kisha akaja, nami nikasema: 'Abu Dharr! Hakuna mtu ambaye nilitamani kukutana naye kuliko wewe, na hakuna ambaye nilichukia kukutana naye kuliko wewe!' Akasema: 'Baba yako ni mali ya Allah! Hawa wawili wanawezaje kuunganishwa pamoja?' Nikajibu: 'Wakati wa Jahiliyya, nilimzika hai binti yangu, nami niliogopa kwamba nitakutana nawe nawe utasema: "Hakuna njia kwako ya kutubu. Hakuna njia ya kutoka." Kwa upande mwingine, nilikuwa natumaini kwamba utasema: "Kuna njia kwako ya kutubu. Kuna njia ya kutoka."' Abu Dharr akauliza: 'Je, ulifanya hivyo wakati wa Jahiliyya?' 'Ndiyo,' nilijibu. Akasema: 'Allah amesamehe yaliyokwisha kufanyika.' Kisha akamwambia mkewe: 'Tuletee chakula.' Akakataa. Akaamuru tena, naye akakataa. Hili likaendelea hadi sauti zao zikapanda kwa mabishano. Abu Dharr akasema: 'Sawa basi! Wao (wanawake) hawazingatii alichosema Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ!' 'Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema nini kuhusu wanawake?' niliuliza. Akajibu: 'Mwanamke ni ubavu uliopinda. Ukijaribu kumnyoosha, utamvunja. Ukimbembeleza kwa upole, kutakuwa na upendo na njia ya kutosha (ya kupata unachotaka).' Akaenda akaleta mchuzi, akitenda kama njiwa."

747. Nu'aym ibn Qa'nab said, "I went to Abu Dharr and did not find him at home. I asked his wife, 'Where is Abu Dharr?' 'Fetching some things for the house. He will be back presently.' I sat down to wait for him and he came with two camels. One of them was lined up behind the other and each of the camels had a waterskin on its neck. Abu Dharr took them off. Then he came and I said, 'Abu Dharr! There was no man who I desired to meet more than you and there was none that I hated to meet more than you!' He said, 'Your father belongs to Allah! How can these two be joined together?' I replied, 'In the Jahiliyya, a buried a daughter alive and I feared that I would meet you and you would say, "There is no way for you to repent. There is no way out." On the other hand, I used to hope that you would say, 'There is a way for you to repent. There is a way out."' "Abu Dharr asked, 'Was it during the time of the Jahiliyya that you did it?' 'Yes,' I replied. He said, 'Allah has pardoned what was already done.' Then he told his wife, 'Bring us some food.' She refused. Then he ordered again and she refused. This continued until their voices were raised in argument. Abu Dharr said, 'All right then! They (women) do not consider what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said!' 'What did the Messenger of Allah say about women?' I asked. He replied, 'Woman is a crooked rib. If you try to straighten her out, you will break her. If you coax her gently, there will be love and a sufficient means (of obtaining what you want).' She went and brought a stew, behaving like a dove.

"Abu Dharr alisema, 'Kula. Usiogope kwa sababu yangu. Mimi ninafunga.' Kisha akasimama kusali. Akaanza kusali raka'a kwa mfululizo wa haraka. Kisha akageuka akala. Nikasema kwa mshangao, 'Sisi ni wa Mwenyezi Mungu! Sikuwahi kudhani kwamba ungeniambia uongo!' Yeye akajibu, 'Baba yako ni wa Mwenyezi Mungu! Sijawahi kusema uongo tangu siku niliyokutana nawe!' Nikasema, 'Je, hukuniambia kwamba unafunga?' 'Ndiyo,' akajibu, 'nimefunga siku tatu za mwezi huu, kwa hiyo thawabu ya mwezi mzima imeandikwa kwangu, na kwa hiyo ni halali kwangu kula.'"

"Abu Dharr said, 'Eat. Don't let me alarm you. I am fasting.' Then he got up to pray. He began to perform rak'ats in quick succession. Then he turned and ate. I exclaimed, 'We belong to Allah! I never thought that you would lie to me!' He replied, 'Your father belongs to Allah! I have never lied since the moment I met you!' I said, 'Did you not tell me that you were fasting?' 'Yes, he replied, 'I have fasted three days of this month and so the reward for an entire month has been written for me and it is therefore lawful for me to eat.'"

748. Thawban alisimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Dinari bora kabisa anayotumia mtu ni dinari anayotumia kwa familia yake, dinari anayotumia kwa wenzake katika Njia ya Allah, na dinari anayotumia kwa mnyama wake wa kupanda katika Njia ya Allah." Mmoja wa wasimulizi, Abu Qilaba, alisema: "Alianza na familia. Na nani ana thawabu kubwa kuliko mtu anayetumia kwa watoto wadogo hadi wakati Allah Mtukufu atakapowafanya waweze kujitegemea?" 749. Abu Mas'ud al-Badri alisimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Mtu anapotumia kitu kwa familia yake na kuhesabu thawabu yake iko kwa Allah, basi hiyo ni sadaka kwake." 750. Jabir alisema: "Mtu mmoja alisema, 'Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah, nina dinari.' Akasema, 'Itumie kwa nafsi yako.' Yule mtu akasema, 'Nina nyingine.' Akasema, 'Itumie kwa mtumishi wako (au alisema, kwa mtoto wako).' Yule mtu akasema, 'Nina nyingine.' Akasema, 'Itumie katika Njia ya Allah, lakini hiyo ndiyo aina ya chini kabisa ya sadaka.'" 751. Abu Hurayra alisimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Kuna dinari nne: dinari unayompa maskini, dinari unayotoa kumwacha huru mtumwa, dinari unayotumia katika Njia ya Allah, na dinari unayotumia kwa familia yako. Bora kati yake ni dinari unayotumia kwa familia yako."

748. Thawban reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best dinar a man spends is the dinar which he spends on his family, the dinar which he spends on his companions in the Way of Allah, and the dinar which he spends on his riding animal in the Way of Allah." One of the transmitters, Abu Qilaba, said, He began with the family, Who has a greater reward that the man who spends on small children until such time that Allah Almighty makes them able to support themselves." 749. Abu Mas'ud al-Badri reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When someone spends something on his family and reckons its reward to be with Allah, then it is sadaqa for him." 750. Jabir said, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have a dinar.' He said, 'Spend it on yourself.' The man said, 'I have another.' He said, 'Spend it on your servant (or he said, 'on your child').' The man said, 'I have another.' He said, 'Use it in the Way of Allah, but that is the least form of sadaqa.'" 751. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are four dinars: a dinar which you give to a poor person, a dinar you give to free a slave, a dinar you spend in the Way of Allah, and a dinar which you spend on your family. The best of them is the dinar which you spend on your family."

752. Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas amepokea kutoka kwa Mtume ﷺ kwamba alimwambia: "Hutoi chochote kwa kutaka uso wa Allah Mtukufu isipokuwa utalipwa kwa hilo, hata kile unachomweka mkeo mdomoni."

752. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas transmitted that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "You do not spend anything by which you desire the face of Allah Almighty but that you art rewarded for it, even what you place in your wife's mouth."

753. Abu Hurayra alipokea habari kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Bwana wetu, Mwenye Baraka na Mtukufu, hushuka hadi mbingu ya chini kabisa kila usiku wakati theluthi moja ya usiku imebaki. Husema: 'Ni nani anaeniomba ili nimjibu? Ni nani anaeniomba kitu ili nimpe? Ni nani anaeniomba msamaha ili nimsamehe?'"

753. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night when a third of the night remains. He says, 'Who is calling on Me so that I can answer him? Who is asking Me for something so that I can give to him? "Who is asking Me for forgiveness so that I can forgive him?'"
