Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

641 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin once urinated in the mosque. The people leapt up to chastise him, but the Prophet ﷺ said: “Leave him be and pour a bucket of water—one full bucket (sajl) or a large pail (dhanūb)—over his urine. You have been sent to make things easy, not to make them difficult.” Narrated by al-Bukhārī.
(The word sajl—with an open sīn and a quiescent jīm—means a bucket filled with water; dhanūb has the same meaning.)

642 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Make things easy and do not make them difficult; give glad tidings and do not drive people away.” Agreed upon.

643 – Jarrīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “Whoever is denied gentleness is denied all good.” Narrated by Muslim.

644 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man said to the Prophet ﷺ, “Advise me.” He replied, “Do not become angry.” The man repeated his request several times, and each time he said, “Do not become angry.” Narrated by al-Bukhārī.

645 – Abū Yaʿlā Shaddād ibn Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Allah has prescribed excellence in everything. So when you kill, kill well (1), and when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and spare the animal unnecessary suffering.” Narrated by Muslim.

646 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was never given a choice between two matters without choosing the easier of the two, provided it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he was the farthest of people from it. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never took revenge on his own behalf—except when one of Allah’s sanctities was violated, in which case he would seek redress for the sake of Allah the Exalted. Agreed upon.

(1) al-qatla (with a short “i” on the qaf) denotes the manner and condition of killing; al-dhabha (with a short “i” on the dhal) refers to the manner of slaughtering; al-shafra (with a fatḥa on the initial sh and a sukun on the f) is a broad-bladed knife. The hadith is reported in Mukhtasar Muslim, no. 1249; Sahih Muslim, 4:2003; and Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud (with an abbreviated isnad), no. 2441.

٦٤١ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : بَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَامَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ لِيَقَعُوا فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : « دَعُوهُ وَأَرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ ، أَوْ ذُنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ ، فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ » رواه البخاري . « السَّجْلُ » بفتح السين المهملة وإسكان الجيم : وَهِيَ الدَّلْوُ الْمُمْتَلِئَةُ مَاءً ، وَكَذَلِكَ الذُّنُوبُ . ٦٤٢ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي ﷺ قال : « يَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا ، وَبَشِّرُوا وَلَا تُنَفِّرُوا » متفق عليه . ٦٤٣ - وعن جرير بن عبد الله رضي الله عنه قال : سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول : « مَنْ يُحْرَمِ الرِّفْقَ يُحْرَمِ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ » رواه مسلم . ٦٤٤ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ : أَوْصِنِي ، قَالَ : « لَا تَغْضَبْ » فَرَدَّدَ مِرَارًا : قَالَ : « لَا تَغْضَبْ » رواه البخاري . ٦٤٥ - وعن أبي يعلى شَدَّاد بن أوس رضي الله عنه ، عن رسول الله ﷺ قال : « إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ (١) وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَةَ ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ ، وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ » رواه مسلم . ٦٤٦ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا ، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا ، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا ، كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ . وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ ، إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ ، فَيَنْتَقِمَ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى . متفق عليه .
