6473. Narrated Warrād, the clerk of Al-Mughīra bin Shu'ba: Mu'āwiya wrote to Al-Mughīra: "Write to me a narration you have heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." So Al-Mughīra wrote to him: "I heard him saying the following after each Salāt (prayer): 'Lā ilāha illallāhu Waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, laḥul-mulku wa laḥul-ḥamdu, wa Huwa 'alā kulli shai'in Qadir.'" (1) He used to forbid: (1) Qil and Qāl (sinful and useless talk like backbiting, etc. or that you talk too much about others), (2) asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters), (3) wasting one's wealth (by extravagance), (4) preventing what should be given (e.g. charity, etc.), (5) to beg of men (i.e., begging), (6) being undutiful to mothers, and (7) burying one's daughters (alive)." (See H. 844)
