Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

366 – Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever visits a sick person or goes to see a brother of his for Allah’s sake, a caller proclaims to him, ‘You have done well, your footsteps are blessed, and you have taken your seat in Paradise.’” Related by al-Tirmidhi, who graded it ḥasan (sound); in some copies the grading is gharīb (solitary) (1).

367 – Abu Musa al-Ashʿari (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet ﷺ stated, “The likeness of a righteous companion and an evil companion is that of the musk-seller and the blacksmith’s furnace (2). The musk-seller may give you some perfume, you may buy some from him (3), or at the very least you will enjoy a pleasant fragrance from him; whereas the blacksmith may singe your clothes, or you will be met with a foul smell from him.” Agreed upon.

( yuḥdhiyaka: that is, he may give you [some perfume]. )

368 – Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet ﷺ said, “A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, or her religion. So seek the one who is devout—may your hands be rubbed with dust.” Agreed upon.

Its meaning is that people customarily look for these four qualities in a woman; you, however, should be keen on the one who possesses religion, win her, and cherish her company.

369 – Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet ﷺ asked Jibrīl, “What keeps you from visiting us more often than you do?” Thereupon the verse was revealed: “We do not descend except by the command of your Lord; to Him belongs whatever is before us, whatever is behind us (4), and whatever lies between.” (Maryam 19:64) Related by al-Bukhārī.

370 – Abu Saʿīd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “No—”

(1) I say: that is, the hadith is weak, which matches the condition of its chain; nevertheless, with corroborating evidence it is hasan li-ghayrihi. See al-Mishkat (no. 5015). – N. (2) Pronounced with kasra: ziqq—the leather bellows a blacksmith blows into. (3) That is, she is asking him to sell it to her. (4) Meaning: everything before and behind us, whether in time or place; we move from one state to another only by His command and will.

٣٦٦ - وعنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ زَارَ أَخًا لَهُ فِي اللَّهِ ، نَادَاهُ مُنَادٍ بِأَنْ طَبْتَ ، وَطَابَ مَمْشَاكَ ، وَتَبَوَّأْتَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن وفي بعض النسخ غريب (١) . ٣٦٧ - وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي ﷺ قال : « إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَجَلِيسِ السُّوءِ ، كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ ، وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ (٢) ، فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ ، إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ (٣) ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً ، وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا مُنْتِنَةً » متفق عليه . ( يُحْذِيكَ ) : يُعْطِيكَ . ٣٦٨ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال : « تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِأَرْبَعٍ : لِمَالِهَا ، وَلِحَسَبِهَا ، وَلِجَمَالِهَا ، وَلِدِينِهَا ، فَأَظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ » متفق عليه . ومعناه : أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَقْصِدُونَ فِي الْعَادَةِ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ الْأَرْبَعُ ، فَاحْرِصْ أَنْتَ عَلَى ذَاتِ الدِّينِ ، وَأَظْفَرْ بِهَا ، وَاحْرِصْ عَلَى صُحْبَتِهَا . ٣٦٩ - وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال : قال النبي ﷺ لِجِبْرِيلَ : « مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَزُورَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَزُورَنَا ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ : ﴿ وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا (٤) وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ ﴾ [ مريم : ٦٤ ] » رواه البخاري . ٣٧٠ - وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي ﷺ قال : « لَا

(١) قلت : يعني ضعيف ، وهو اللائق بحال إسناده ، لكن الحديث حسن لغيره ، فراجع « المشكاة » (٥٠١٥) - ن - . (٢) بالكسر ، زق ينفخ فيه الحداد . (٣) أي : تطلب البيع منه . (٤) أي : ما أمامنا وخلفنا من الأزمنة والأمكنة فلا ننتقل من شيء إلى شيء إلا بأمره ومشيئته .
