Chapter 42 · Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أخبرنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ أَبُو طَالُوتَ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، فَحَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ، سَمَّاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، وَكَانَ فِي السِّمَاطِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ مُحَمَّدِيَّكُمْ هَذَا الدَّحْدَاحُ، فَفَهِمَهَا الشَّيْخُ، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ أَنِّي أَبْقَى فِي قَوْمٍ يُعَيِّرُونِي بِصُحْبَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: إِنَّ صُحْبَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكَ زَيْنٌ، غَيْرُ شَيْنٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ، سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ: نَعَمْ، لَا مَرَّةً، وَلَا ثِنْتَيْنِ، وَلَا ثَلَاثًا، وَلَا أَرْبَعًا، وَلَا خَمْسًا، فَمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهِ، فَلَا سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا .

I saw Abu Barzah رضی اللہ عنہ who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me. When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat. The old man (i. e. Abu Barzah) understood it. So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mentioning anything about it? Abu Barzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.
