‏ أَنْزِلُوا النَّاسَ مَنَازِلَهُمْ ‏

‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَحَدِيثُ يَحْيَى مُخْتَصَرٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ مَيْمُونٌ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏

English translation

Narrated Maimun ibn Abu Shabib:

A beggar passed by Aisha and she gave him a piece of bread. Another man who wore clothes and had a good appearance passed by her, and she made him sit down and he ate (with her). When she was asked about that, she replied: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Treat the people according to their ranks. Abu Dawud said: The version of Yahya is short. Abu Dawud said: Maimun did not meet 'A'ishah.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ [رضى الله عنها] مَرَّ بِهَا سَائِلٌ فَأَعْطَتْهُ كِسْرَةً وَمَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ وَهَيْئَةٌ فَأَقْعَدَتْهُ فَأَكَلَ فَقِيلَ لَهَا فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

Hadith text · Matn

‏ إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلاَلِ اللَّهِ إِكْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرِ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَالْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِكْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ ‏

‏ ‏.‏

English translation

Narrated AbuMusa al-Ash'ari:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Glorifying Allah involves showing honour to a grey-haired Muslim and to one who can expound the Qur'an, but not to one who acts extravagantly regarding it, or turns away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler.
