Hadith 13

10.Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb narrated from ʿAlī ibn Riʾāb, from Abū ʿUbaydah al-Ḥadhdhāʾ[1], from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said

“Modesty is part of faith, and faith leads one into Paradise. Immodesty is part of depravity, and depravity leads one into the Fire.”

الحسن بن محبوب عن علي بن رئاب عن أبي عبيدة الحذاء عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال

الحياء من الايمان والايمان في الجنة والبذاء من الجفاء والجفاء في النار.

Hadith 15

12.ʿUthmān ibn ʿĪsā narrated from ʿUmayr [1] ibn Udhaynah, from Sulaymān ibn Qays who said

“I heard Amīr al-Muʾminīn (a) say, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, “Verily Allah has forbidden Paradise to every foul-mouthed, obscene, shameless person who does not care about what he utters and what is said to him. If you investigate him, you will not find him but of illegitimate birth or a partner of Satan.” Upon hearing this, one man asked, “O Messenger of Allah, are there really people who are partners of Satan?” He (ṣ) replied, “Have you not read the statement of Allah [where he tells Satan]: And partner with them in their wealth and children (Q17:64)?” Then someone asked, “And are there [really] some people who do not care about what they utter or what is said to them?” So he (ṣ) responded, “Yes. He who criticizes the people and speaks [negatively] about them while he knows that they will not leave him [and will react against what he has said]; such a person does not care about what he utters and what is said to him.”’”

عثمان بن عيسى عن عمير بن أذينة عن سليمان بن قيس قال

سمعت أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ان الله حرم الجنة على كل فحاش بذى قليل الحياء لا يبالي ما قال وما قيل له فإنك ان فتشته لم تجده الا لغية أو شرك شيطان فقال رجل يا رسول الله أو في الناس شرك شيطان؟ فقال: أما تقرأ قول الله: وشاركهم في الأموال والأولاد فقيل: وفى الناس من لا يبالي ما قال وما قيل له؟ فقال: نعم من تعرض الناس فقال فيهم وهو يعلم أنهم لا يتركونه فذلك الذي لا يبالي ما قال وما قيل له.

Hadith 19

16.Ḥammād ibn ʿĪsā narrated from Shuʿayb al-ʿAqarqūfī, from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said

“Once, when the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) was with [his wife] ʿĀʾishah, a man sought permission to see him. So the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘What a bad brother of the tribe [he is]!’ ʿĀʾishah stood up and entered the inner chamber, and the Prophet (ṣ) allowed the man to enter. As he came in, the Prophet (ṣ) went to meet him and he spoke to him until he had said what he came to say and left. So ʿĀʾishah said to him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned him in that way, yet you still welcomed him with a smile on your face?’ So he said to her, ‘Verily among the worst servants of Allah is one whose company is disliked because of his foul-mouthedness.’”

حماد بن عيسى عن شعيب العقرقوفي عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال

بينما (بينا) رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله (ذات يوم) عند عايشة (إذا) فاستأذن عليه رجل وقال (فقال) رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: بئس أخو العشيرة وقامت (وقالت) عايشة فدخلت البيت (و) فاذن له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فدخل فاقبل عليه (إليه) رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله حتى إذا فرغ من حديثه خرج فقالت له عايشة يا رسول الله (بينا) بينما أنت تذكره (تذاكره) إذا أقبلت عليه بوجهك وبشرك فقال لها: ان من أشر عباد الله من تكره مجالسته لفحشه.

Hadith 23

20.ʿAlī ibn al-Nuʿmān narrated from ʿAmr ibn Shimr, from Jābir, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said

“The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘Verily Allah loves the modest, clement, independent, chaste individual. And indeed Allah hates the shameless, obscene, scrounging, importune individual.’”

علي بن النعمان عن عمرو بن شمر عن جابر عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ان الله يحب الحيي الحليم الغنى المتعفف الا وان الله يبغض الفاحشة البذي السائل الملحف.

Hadith 24

21.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Ibn Muskān, from al-Ḥasan al Ṣayqal who said

“I was sitting with Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) when he sent one of his non-Arab servant boys on an errand to a person. The boy left and then returned so Abū ʿAbdillāh began asking him and seeking an explanation from him, but the young lad did not understand him, and this happened a number of times.” He (the narrator) said, “When I saw that his speech did not change and he was not able to understand, I thought that Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) would get angry on him. [However,] Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) looked at him sternly and then said, ‘By Allah, even if you are unable to speak with your tongue, you are not unable to communicate with your heart [and mind]!’ Then he said, ‘Verily modesty, chastity, and inarticulateness – the inarticulateness of the tongue, not of the heart – are part of faith, [1] while immodesty, obscenity and insolence are part of hypocrisy.’”

محمد بن سنان عن ابن مسكان عن الحسن الصيقل قال

كنت عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام جالسا فبعث غلاما له أعجميا في حاجة إلى رجل فانطلق ثم رجع فجعل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام يستفهمه الجواب وجعل الغلام لا يفهمه مرارا قال: فلما رأيته لا يتغير لسانه ولا يفهم ظننت ان أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يستغضب عليه قال: وأحد أبو عبد الله عليه السلام النظر إليه ثم قال: أما والله لئن كنت عيي اللسان فما أنت بعيي القلب ثم قال: إن الحياء والعفاف والعي - على اللسان لا على القلب - من الايمان والفحش والبذاء والسلاطة من النفاق.

Hadith 25

22.Ibn Muskān said, and so did al-Ḥasan, “We heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, ‘A foul-mouthed woman once passed by the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) while he was eating, and said, ‘O Muḥammad, you are indeed eating the food of slaves sitting as a slave would sit.’ So he (ṣ) said to her, ‘Woe be to you! And who is a more submissive slave [of Allah] than me?’ She said, ‘Then share with me a morsel of your food.’ So the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) gave her some of his food. She said, ‘No, by Allah. I want a morsel from your mouth to [enter] my mouth!’ So he took out a morsel from his mouth and gave it to her, and she ate it.” Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said

“After that, she never uttered an obscene word until she left this world.”

قال ابن مسكان وقال الحسن: سمعنا أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: مرت برسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله امرأة بذية وهو يأكل فقالت يا محمد صلى الله عليه وآله: انك لتأكل اكل العبد وتجلس جلوسه فقال لها: ويحك وأي عبد أعبد منى؟ فقالت إما فناولني لقمة من طعامك فناولها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لقمة من طعامه فقالت: لا والله الا إلى في من فيك قال: فاخرج اللقمة من فيه فناولها إياها فأكلتها قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام فما أصابت بذاء حتى فارقت الدنيا.
