اتق الله ولا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا ولو تفرغ من دلوك في إناء المستسقي وأن تلقى أخاك ووجهك إليه منبسط وإياك وإسبال الإزار فإن إسبال الإزار من المخيلة ولا يحبها الله وإن امرؤ شتمك وعيرك بأمر ليس هو فيك فلا تعيره بأمر هو فيه ودعه يكون وباله عليه وأجره لك ولا تَسُبَّنَّ أحَداً
(الطيالسي حب) عن جابر بن سليم الهجيمي.)
According to the words of Jabir ibn Suleim al-Hajami that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
‘Fear Allah. Do not belittle any good deed, even pouring water from your bucket into the bucket of someone else who asks you for water or talking to your brother with a cheerful face. Beware of dragging your waist-wrapper (lower garment) – it is part of arrogance and Allah does not like it. If a man blames you for something he knows about you, do not blame him for anything you know of him. Leave him and he will bear the sin for it, and you will receive a reward for it (from Allah) and do not cause anyone to suffer (or revile).‘
This hadith was given by at-Tayalisi (1208) and Ibn Hibban (521). Similar Hadith in Al Adab Al-Mufrad Hadith 1182.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See “Sahih al-Jami ‘al-sagir” (98), “al-Silsil al-sahih” (770).
