45/2. Chapter:
حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: «لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي المَهْدِ إِلَاّ ثَلَاثَةٌ: عِيساى.وَكَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائيلَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: جُرَيْجٌ، كَانَ يُصَلِّي. جَاءَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَدَعَتْه، فَقَالَ: أُجِيبُهَا أَوْ أُصلِّي؟ فَقَالَتْ: اللهُمَّ! لَا تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى تُرِيَهُ وُجُوهَ المُومِسَاتِ. وَكَانَ جُرَيْجٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ، فَتَعَرَّضَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ، وَكَلَّمَتْهُ، فَأَبى. فَأَتَتْ رَاعِيًا، فَأَمْكَنَتْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا، فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا. فَقَالَتْ: مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ. فَأَتَوْهُ فَكَسَرُوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ، وَأَنْزَلُوهُ، وَسَبُّوهُ. فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلُّى. ثُمَّ أَتى الغُلَامَ. فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبُوكَ يَا غُلَامُ؟ قَالَ: الرَّاعِي. قَالوا: نَبْنِي صَوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. قَالَ: لَا. إِلَاّ مِنْ طِينٍ.وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَة تُرضِعُ ابْنًا لَهَا، مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَمَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ رَكِبٌ ذو شَارَةٍ. فَقَالَت: اللهُمَّ! اجْعَلِ ابْنِي مِثْلَهُ. فَتَرَكَ ثَدْيَهَا وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الرَّاكِبِ، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ! لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَهُ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَل عَلَى ثَدْيِهَا يَمَصُّهُ» .قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: كَأَنِّي أَنْظر إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، يَمَصُّ إِصْبَعَهُ ⦗١٨٧⦘.«ثمَّ مُرَّ بِأَمَةٍ. فَقَالَتْ: اللهُمَّ! لَا تَجْعَلِ ابْنِي مِثْلَ هاذِهِ. فَتَركَ ثَدْيَهَا، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ! اجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَتْ: لِمَ ذَاكَ؟ فَقَالَ: الرَّاكِبُ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الجَبَابِرَةِ. وَهاذِهِ الأَمَةُ، يَقُولُونَ: سَرَقْتِ، زَنَيْتِ. وَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ»..
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) 'Iesa (Jesus), (the second child was): There was a man from Banî Isreal called Juraij. While he was offering Salât (prayer), his mother came and called him. He said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?” (He continued his prayers and did not answer her.) His mother said, ‘O Allâh! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.’ So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So, she went to a shepherd and offered herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her; and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij.The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed ablution and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, ‘O child! Who is your father?’ The child replied, ‘The shepherd.’ (After hearing this) the people said, ‘We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,’ but he said, ‘No, of nothing but mud.’ (The third was the hero of the following story): A lady from Banî Isrâel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, ‘O Allâh! Make my child like him.’ On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, ‘O Allâh! Do not make me like him.’ The child then started sucking her breast again.” Abû Huraira further said, “As if I were now looking at the Prophet ﷺ sucking his finger (in way of demonstration).“After a while they (some people) passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child’s mother) said, ‘O Allâh! Do not make my child like this (slave-girl)!’ On that the child left her breast and said, ‘O Allâh! Make me like her.’ When she asked why, the child replied, ‘The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave-girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse.’ ” ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 645, Vol. 4 )
45/6. Chapter:
حَديثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: «خَلَقَ الله الخَلْقَ. فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ منْهُ، قَامَتِ الرَّحِمُ، فَأَخَذَتْ بِحَقُوِ الرَّحْمانِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَهْ. قَالَتْ: هاذَا مَقَامُ العَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ القَطِيعَةِ. قَالَ: أَلارَ تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ، وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: بَلعى يَا رَبِّ! قَالَ: فَذَاكِ» .⦗١٨٨⦘ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: اقْرَؤُوا إِن شِئْتُمْ ﴿فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ﴾..
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh created His creation, and when He had finished it, the womb got up and caught hold of Allâh whereupon Allâh said, 'What is the matter?' On that, it said, 'I seek refuge with You from Al-Qatî'ah (those who sever the ties of kith and kin).' On that Allâh said, 'Will you (be satisfied) if I bestow My favours on him who keeps your ties, and withhold My favours from him who severs your ties?' On that it said, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allâh said, 'That is for you.' "Abû Huraira added: "If you wish you can recite: 'Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship...' " (V.47:22)( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 354, Vol. 6 )

Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im that he heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, " Qâtî' (the person who severs the bond of kinship) will not enter Paradise." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 13, Vol. 8 )
حَدِيثُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يُبْسَطَ لَهُ رِزْقُهُ، أَو يُنْسَأَ لَهُ فِي أَثَرِهِ، فَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُ»..

45/7. Chapter:
حَدِيثُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: «لَا تَبَاغَضُوا، وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا. وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ الله إِخْوَانًا. وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ»..
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Do not hate one another, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert each other, and O Allâh’s worshippers! Be brothers. Lo! It is not permissible for any Muslim to desert (not talk to) his brother (Muslim) for more than three days.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 91, Vol. 8 )

حَدِيثُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: «لَا يَحِل لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ. يَلْتَقِيَانِ، فَيُعْرِضُ هاذَا، وَيُعْرِضُ هاذَا. ⦗١٩٠⦘ وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ»..
Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “It is not lawful for a man to desert his brother Muslim for more than three nights. (It is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of them turns his face away from the other, and the other turns his face from the former, and the better of the two will be the one who greets the other first.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 100, Vol. 8 )
45/9. Chapter:
حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَن رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ، فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ. وَلَا تَحَسَّسُوا، وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا، وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا، وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا، وَلَا تَبَاغُضُوا، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا. وَكُونوا عِبَادَ الله إِخْوَانًا»..
Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales, and do not look for others’ faults, and do not indulge in spying on one another, and do not practise Najsh [1], and do not be jealous of one another, and do not hate one another, and do not desert (stop talking to) one another. And O Allâh’s worshippers! Be brothers!” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 92, Vol. 8 )
[1] Najsh means to offer a high price for something in order to allure another customer who is interested in that thing.
