There was in Damascus a man from the companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, called Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah. He was a recluse and rarely met the people. He remained engaged in prayer. When he was not praying he was occupied in glorifying Allah and exalting Him until he went to his family. Once he passed us when we were with Abud Darda. Abud Darda said to him: Tell us a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent out a contingent and it came back. One of the men came and sat in the place where the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to sit, and he said to a man beside him: Would that you saw us when we met the enemy and so-and-so attacked and cut through a lance. He said: Take it from me and I am a boy of the tribe Ghifar. What do you think about his statement? He replied: I think his reward was lost. Another man heard it and said: I do not think that there is any harm in it. They quarrelled until the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم heard it, and he said: Glory be to Allah! There is no harm if he is rewarded and praised. I saw that Abud Darda was pleased with it and began to raise his hand to him and say: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم? He said: Yes. He continued to repeat it to him so often that I thought he was going to kneel down. He said: On another day he again passed us. Abud Darda said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to us: One who spends on (the maintenance of) horses (for jihad) is like the one who spreads his hand to give alms (sadaqah) and does not withhold it. He then passed us on another day. Abud Darda said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does no harm to you. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Khuraym al-Asadi would be a fine man were it not for the length of his hair, which reaches the shoulders, and the way he lets his lower garment hang down. When Khuraym heard that, he hurriedly, took a knife, cut his hair in line with his ears and raised his lower garment half way up his legs. He then passed us on another day. Abud Darda said to him: (tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: You are coming to your brethren; so tidy your mounts and tidy your dress, until you are like a mole among the people. Allah does not like obscene words or deeds, or do intentional committing of obscenity. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, Abu Nu'aim narrated from Hisham. He said: Until you will be like a mole among the people.

Read More..Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man who was beautiful came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes beauty, and I have been given some of it, as you see. And I do not like that anyone excels me (in respect of beauty). Perhaps he said: even to the extent of thong of my sandal (shirak na'li) , or he he said: to the extent of strap of my sandal (shis'i na'li) . Is it pride? He replied: No, pride is disdaining what is true and despising people.
Read More..Narrated Abdur Rahman: I asked Abu Saeed al-Khudri about wearing lower garment. He said: You have come to the man who knows it very well. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The way for a believer to wear a lower garment is to have it halfway down his legs and he is guilty of no sin if it comes halfway between that and the ankles, but what comes lower than the ankles is in Hell. On the day of Resurrection. Allah will not look at him who trails his lower garment conceitedly.
