Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 157
When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any slave or anything else except a camel
which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew water
and sew the bucket for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake bread. So
our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to carry the
date stones on my head from Zubair's land given to him by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and this land was two third
Farsakh (about two miles) from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date stones on my
head, I met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with some Ansari people. He called me and then, (directing his
camel to kneel down) said, "Ikh! Ikh!" so as to make me ride behind him (on his camel). I felt shy to
travel with the men and remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of those people
who had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) noticed that I felt shy, so he proceeded. I came to
Az-Zubair and said, "I met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while I was carrying a load of date stones on my head, and
he had some companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I might ride, but I felt shy
in his presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On that Az-Zubair said, "By
Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being seen by the Prophet (ﷺ) in such a state) is more
shameful to me than your riding with him." (I continued serving in this way) till Abu Bakr sent me a
servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.
The Prophet; said, "Allah has a sense of Ghira, and Allah's sense of Ghira is provoked when a believer does something which Allah has prohibited."
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the house of one of his wives, one of the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet (ﷺ) was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and break. The Prophet (ﷺ) gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, "Your mother (my wife) felt jealous." Then he detained the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the house where it had been broken.
