“No; rather, a shelter like Moses’s shelter”—meaning, a simple canopy. Its narrators are trustworthy, except that Ibn Ḥammād himself is weak.
- “Whoever is given a gift and has the means should reciprocate; whoever does not have the means should offer praise. Whoever offers praise has given thanks, and whoever conceals it has shown ingratitude. Whoever lays claim to what he has not been given is like one wearing two garments of falsehood.”
Abū Dāwūd (4813) narrated it by way of Bishr, who said: ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah narrated to us: A man from my people narrated to me from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it.
