I asked, "Messenger of Allah, what do you call people to?"He replied, "I call to Allah alone. He is the One who, if harm touches you and you call upon Him, removes it from you. He is the One who, if you become lost in a barren land and call upon Him, returns your mount to you. He is the One who, if drought strikes you and you call upon Him, causes the earth to grow vegetation for you."I said, "Give me some advice."He said, "Do not insult anyone. Do not regard any act of kindness as insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face, or pouring from your bucket into the vessel of one seeking water. Wear your lower garment to mid-calf, and if you refuse, then to the ankles. Beware of letting your garment trail below the ankles, for trailing the garment is from arrogance, and Allah does not love arrogance."
قلت: يا رسول الله إلام تدعو؟ قال: أدعو إلى الله وحده الذي إن مسك ضر فدعوته كشف عنك، والذي إن ضللت بأرض قفر دعوته رد عليك والذي إن أصابتك سنة فدعوته أنبت عليك قال: قلت: فأوصني قال: لا تسبن أحدا، ولا تزهدن في المعروف، ولو أن تلقى أخاك وأنت منبسط إليه وجهك، ولو أن تفرغ من دلوك في إناء المستسقي، واتزر إلى نصف الساق فإن أبيت فإلى الكعبين، وإياك وإسبال الإزار فإن إسبال الإزار من المخيلة، وإن الله تبارك وتعالى لا يحب المخيلة.
Ahmad (20636) narrated it from Affan, who said, Wahib told us, Khalid Haddan told us, from Abu Tamima Hujaymi, from a man from Bal-Hujaym, who said, and then he mentioned it. The companion is Jabir bin Sulaym Hujaymi, and Imam Ahmad mentioned him in his Musnad.
