7292. Narrated Warrād, the clerk of Al-Mughīra: Mu'āwiya wrote to Al-Mughīra "Write to me what you have heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." So he (Al-Mughīra) wrote to him: Allāh's Prophet ﷺ used to say at the end of each Salāt (prayer), "Lā ilāha illallāh wahdahū lā sharīka lahū, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alā kulli shai'in Qadīr Allāhumma lā māni'a limā a'taita, wa lā mu'tiya limā mana'ta, wa lā yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd."(1) He also wrote to him that the Prophet ﷺ used to forbid: (1) Qīl and Qāl (sinful and useless talk, like backbiting, or that you talk too much about others); (2) asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters); (3) and wasting one's wealth (by extravagance); (4) and to be undutiful to one's mother; (5) and to bury the daughters alive; (6) and to prevent your favours (benevolence) to others (i.e., not to pay the rights of others, Zakāt, charity etc.); (7) and begging [to beg of men or asking others for something (except when it is unavoidable)]. (See H. 844)
