Hadith
Zayd ibn Thabit reported that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to him to ask to see him one day and he gave him permission while his head was in the hands of a slavegirl of his who was combing his hair. He removed his head and 'Umar said to him, 'Let her comb it.' He said, 'Amir al-Mu'minin, if you were to send for me, I would come to you.' ''Umar said, 'It is my need.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ جَاءَهُ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي يَدِ جَارِيَةٍ لَهُ تُرَجِّلُهُ، فَنَزَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: دَعْهَا تُرَجِّلُكَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لَوْ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ جِئْتُكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّمَا الْحَاجَةُ لِي.
Abu Hurayra said, "When someone spits in the presence of people, let him catch it with his palms so that his spit does not fall on the ground. When he fasts, he should oil his palm so that the trace of the fast is not seen on him."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: إِذَا تَنَخَّعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْقَوْمِ فَلْيُوَارِ بِكَفَّيْهِ حَتَّى تَقَعَ نُخَاعَتُهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَإِذَا صَامَ فَلْيَدَّهِنْ، لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ الصَّوْمِ.
Habib ibn Abi Thabit said, "When a man spoke, they used to like that he not turn to one particular man, but rather he should address everyone."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: كَانُوا يُحِبُّونَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ لاَ يُقْبِلَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْوَاحِدِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَعُمَّهُمْ.
