Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ سَوْقَةَ عَنْ وَرَّادٍ مَوْلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنْ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ وَكَتَبْتُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ ثَلَاثًا وَنَهَى عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ فَأَمَّا الثَّلَاثُ اللَّاتِي نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُنَّ فَقِيلَ وَقَالَ وَإِلْحَافُ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةُ الْمَالِ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Ali told us, from Ibn Sawqah, from Warrad, the client of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, who said: Mu'awiyah wrote to al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, "Write to me something you heard from the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, with no one between you and him." He said: So he dictated to me and I wrote: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say, "God has forbidden three things and prohibited three things. As for the three things God has prohibited: gossip and idle talk, persistent begging, and wasting wealth."
