Abu Huraira reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, said: The son of Adam abuses Dahr (the time),
whereas I am Dahr since in My hand are the day and the
night.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
said: The son of Adam displeases Me by abusing Dahr
(time), whereas I am Dahr--I alternate the night and the
day.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
said: The son of Adam causes Me pain as he says: Woe be
upon the Time. None of you should say this: Woe be upon
the Time, as I am the Time (because) I alternate the day
and the night, and when I wish I can finish them up.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: None of you should abuse Time for it
is Allah Who is the Time, and none of you should call 'Inab
(grape) as al-karm, for karm is a Muslim person.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: Do not use the word karm (for wine)
for worthy of respect is the heart of a believer.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: None of you should use the word al-harin
(for grape) for the heart of a believer is karm (worthy of
respect).
Abu Huraira reported from Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) various ahadith, one of which is this that he
said: None of you should use the word al-karm for 'Inab,
for karm (worthy of respect) is a Muslim person.
'Alqama b. Wa'il reported, from his father, Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) having said: Do not say
al-karm (for the word vine) but say al-habala (that is
grape). This hadith has been reported by Alqama b. Wa'il
on the authority of his father with a different chain of
transmitters and with a slight variation of wording.
Chapter 3: THE PROPER USE OF THE WORDS: BONDMAN,
SLAVE-GIRL, AL-MAULA AND AS-SAYYID
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: None of you should say: My bondman
and my slave-girl, for all of you are the bondmen of
Allah, and all your women are the slave-girls of Allah;
but say: My servant, my girl, and my young man and my
young girl.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: None of you should say: My bondman,
for all of you are the bondmen of Allah, but say: My young
man, and the servant should not say: My Lord, but should
say: My chief.
This hadith has been reported on the authority of al-A'mash
with the same chain of transmitters, and the words are
that the servant should not say to his chief: My Lord, and
Abu Mu'awiya made an addition:" For it is Allah, the
Exalted and Glorious, Who is your Lord."
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) so many ahadith and one of them is this that
Allah's Messenaer (may peace be upon him) said: None of
you should say: Supply drink to your lord, feed your lord,
hell) your lord in performing ablution, and none of you
should say: My Lord. He should say: My chief, my patron;
and none of you should say: My bondman, my slave-girl, but
simply say: My boy, my girl, my servant.
Chapter 4: DISAPPROVAL OF USING THE PHRASE:" MY
SOUL HAS BECOME EVIL"
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) having said: None of you should say:" My soul has
become evil," but he should say:" My soul has become
remorseless." This hadith has been transmitted on the
authority of Abfl Bakr with a slight variation of wording.
Abu Umama b. Sahl b. Hunaif, on the authority of his
father, reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: None of you should say:" My soul has become
evil," but he should say:" My soul has become
remorseless."
Chapter 5: THE USE OF MUSK AND THAT IS THE BEST
SCENT, AND THE DISAPPROVAL OF REJECTING THE GIFT OF SCENT
AND FLOWER
Abd Sa'id Khudri reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) as saying: There was a woman from Bani Isra'il
who was short-statured and she walked in the company of
two tall women with wooden sandals in her feet and a ring
of gold made of plates with musk filled in them and then
looked up, and musk is the best of scents; then she walked
between two women and they (the people) did not recognise
her, and she made a gesture with her hand like this, and
Shu'ba shook his hand in order to give an indication how
she shook her hand.
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) made a mention of a woman of Bana
Isra'il who had filled her ring with musk and musk is the
most fragrant of the scents.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: He who is presented with a flower
should not reject it, for it is light to carry and
pleasant in odour.
Nafi' reported that when Ibn Umar wanted fumigation he
got it from aloeswood without mixing anything with it, or
he put camphor along with aloeswood and then said: This is
how Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) fumigated.
