English translation

1669. It was reported that a woman by the name of Buhaisah reported from her father, that he asked permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and (when he was allowed permission), he lifted his shirt and began to kiss and embrace (the Prophet ﷺ). He said: "O Messenger of Allāh, what is that which is not permissible to withhold (when asked for)?" He replied: "Water." He repeated the question again, and the Prophet ﷺ replied: "Salt." He repeated the question for a third time, upon which the Prophet ﷺ said: "Doing good is better for you." (Da'if)

Arabic text

1669 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا كَهْمَسٌ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ مَنْظُورٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: بُهَيْسَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَمِيصِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يُقَبِّلُ وَيَلْتَزِمُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ: «الْمَاءُ»، قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ: «الْمِلْحُ»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَفْعَلَ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ»

Commentary

Water and salt are very common things of everyday use. To hold them back from others is very shameful.
