Home Hadith Hadith 4193
The people of Banu Tamim came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and he said, "Be glad (i.e. have good tidings). O
Banu Tamim!" They said, "As you have given us good tidings then give us (some material things)."
On that the features of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) changed (i.e. he took it ill). Then some people from Yemen
came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them) "Accept good tidings as Banu Tamim have not accepted them."
They said, "We accept them, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!"

When Abu Musa arrived (at Kufa as a governor) he honored this family of Jarm (by paying them a
visit). I was sitting near to him, and he was eating chicken as his lunch, and there was a man sitting
amongst the people. Abu Musa invited the man to the lunch, but the latter said, "I saw chickens
(eating something (dirty) so I consider them unclean." Abu Musa said, "Come on! I saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
eating it (i.e. chicken)." The man said "I have taken an oath that I will not ea (chicken)" Abu Musa
said." Come on! I will tell you about your oath. We, a group of Al-Ash`ariyin people went to the
Prophet and asked him to give us something to ride, but the Prophet (ﷺ) refused. Then we asked him for
the second time to give us something to ride, but the Prophet (ﷺ) took an oath that he would not give us
anything to ride. After a while, some camels of booty were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he ordered that
five camels be given to us. When we took those camels we said, "We have made the Prophet (ﷺ) forget
his oath, and we will not be successful after that." So I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah' Apostle
! You took an oath that you would not give us anything to ride, but you have given us." He said, "Yes,
for if I take an oath and later I see a better solution than that, I act on the later (and gave the expiation
of that oaths"

The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned with his hand towards Yemen and said, "Belief is there." The harshness and
mercilessness are the qualities of those farmers etc, who are busy with their camels and pay no
attention to the religion (is towards the east) from where the side of the head of Satan will appear;
those are the tribes of Rabi`a and Mudar.
