(3) – باب فِي الأَمْرِ بِالتَّيْسِيرِ وَتَرْكِ التَّنْفِيرِ
(3) – The command to show leniency and avoid causing aversion (towards Islam)
Sahih Muslim 1732
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Masa that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ deputed any of his Companions on a mission, he would say: Give tidings (to the people) ;
do not create (in their minds) aversion (towards religion) ;
show them leniency and do not be hard upon them.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ قَالَ " بَشِّرُوا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرُوا وَيَسِّرُوا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرُوا " .
