He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands."5 narratorsBukhari · 79مَثَلُ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ ، كَمَثَلِ الْغَيْثِ الْكَثِيرِ أَصَابَ أَرْضًا فَكَانَ مِنْهَا نَقِيَّةٌ قَبِلَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation a6 narratorsBukhari · 92سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ، فَقَامَ آخَرُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : أَبُوكَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى شَيْبَةَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ مَا فِي وَجThe Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about things which he did not like, but when the questioners insisted, the Prophet got angry.

He went towards the women thinking that they had not heard him (i.e. his sermon). So he preached them and ordered them to pay alms.

While (saying that) the Prophet (ﷺ) clasped his hands, by interlacing his fingers.5 narratorsBukhari · 558مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَالْيَهود ، والنَّصَارَى كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ عَمَلًا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ فَعَمِلُوا إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا إِلَى أَجْرِكَ فَاسْتَأْجَThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who employed laborers to work for him from morning till night.
