3476. It was narrated that a woman called Buhaisah said: "My father asked permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and (when he was allowed permission), he lifted his shirt and began to kiss and embrace him (the Prophet ﷺ). Then he said to him: 'O Prophet of Allāh! What is the thing that is it not permissible to withhold?' He said: 'Water.' He said: 'O Prophet of Allāh! What is the thing that is it not permissible to withhold?' He said: 'Salt.' He said: 'O Prophet of Allāh! What is the thing that is it not permissible to withhold?' He said: 'Doing good is better for you.'" (Da'if)

3476 - 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 نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟، قَالَ: «الْمَاءُ»، قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟، قَالَ: «الْمِلْحُ»، قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟، قَالَ: «أَنْ تَفْعَلَ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ»
