حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

Sahih al-Bukhari 7293, Book 96, Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah, Hadith 24. 1 min read

What it means

‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from needlessly putting themselves into hardship, whether in words or deeds.

What it teaches

  • The forbidden affectation includes asking too many questions, pretending to know something one has no knowledge about, and adopting an approach of strictness regarding something Allah has made easy and flexible.
  • A Muslim should accustom himself to tolerance and lack of affectation in words and deeds: in his food, drink, speech, and all conditions.
  • Islam is a religion of ease.
