2413. Abū Juḥaifah narrated from his father who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood between Salmān and Abū Ad-Dardā'. Salmān went to visit Abū Ad-Dardā', and saw Umm Ad-Dardā' wearing shabby clothes, so he said: 'Why are you wearing such shabby clothes?' She said: 'Your brother Abū Ad-Dardā' has no interest in the world.' So when Abū Ad-Dardā' arrived, he prepared some food for him (Salmān) and said: 'Eat, for I am fasting.' He said: 'I shall not eat until you eat.'" He said: "So he ate. When night came Abū Ad-Dardā' started to leave and stand (in prayer), but Salmān said to him: 'Sleep.' So he slept. Then he went to stand (in prayer) but he said to him: 'Sleep' so he slept. When the morning (Fajr) came, Salmān said: 'Get up now.' So he got up to perform Ṣalāt. Then he (Salmān) said: 'Indeed your self has a right upon you, your Lord has a right upon you, your guest has a right upon you, and your family has a right upon you. So give each the right they are due. The Prophet ﷺ came, and that was mentioned to him, so he said: 'Salmān has told the truth.'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ṣahīh. Abū Al-'Umais' (a narrator in the chain) name is 'Utbah bin 'Abdullāh, and he is the brother of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Abdullāh Al-Mas'ūdī.

٢٤١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ ، عَنْ ‌عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ» وَبَيْنَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَزَارَ سَلْمَانُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَرَأَى أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُتَبَذِّلَةً، فَقَالَ: مَا شَأْنُكِ مُتَبَذِّلَةً؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَخَاكَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا. قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا، فَقَالَ: كُلْ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِآكِلٍ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَ، قَالَ: فَأَكَلَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ، ذَهَبَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لِيَقُومَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ: نَمْ فَنَامَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَقُومُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: نَمْ فَنَامَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ: قُمِ الْآنَ، فَقَامَا فَصَلَّيَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلِرَبِّكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلِضَيْفِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَإِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، فَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ، فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَا ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: صَدَقَ سَلْمَانُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ اسْمُهُ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَهُوَ أَخُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ.

Commentary

The Ḥadīth confirms that man's Master and his Creator alone are not the only ones who have rights upon him; the people he mixes with as well as his own self has rights upon him. It is, therefore, necessary that he not sacrifice or neglect the right of one for the rights of others.
