حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا کَهْمَسٌ عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ مَنْظُورٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا بُهَيْسَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهَا قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَمِيصِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُقَبِّلُ وَيَلْتَزِمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْئُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ الْمَائُ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْئُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ الْمِلْحُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْئُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرٌ لَکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1669
Buhaysah reported on the authority of his father: My father sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ. (When permission was granted and he came near him) he lifted his shirt, and began to kiss him and embrace him (out of love for him). He asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Water. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Salt. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He said: To do good is better for you.
