حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ إِلْيَاسَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَسَّانَ قَال سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ طَيِّبٌ يُحِبُّ الطَّيِّبَ نَظِيفٌ يُحِبُّ النَّظَافَةَ کَرِيمٌ يُحِبُّ الْکَرَمَ جَوَادٌ يُحِبُّ الْجُودَ فَنَظِّفُوا أُرَاهُ قَالَ أَفْنِيَتَکُمْ وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِالْيَهُودِ قَالَ فَذَکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ لِمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَظِّفُوا أَفْنِيَتَکُمْ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ إِلْيَاسَ يُضَعَّفُ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ إِيَاسٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2799
Narrated Salih bin Abi Hassan: I heard Sa'eed bin Musayyab saying: 'Indeed Allah is Tayyib (good) and he loves Tayyib (what is good), and He is Nazif (clean) and He loves cleanliness, He is Karim (kind) and He loves kindness, He is Jawad (generous) and He loves generosity. So clean' - I think he said - 'your courtyards, and do not resemble the Jews.' He said: I mentioned that to Muhajir bin Mismar, and he said: Amir bin Sa'd [bin Abi Waqqas] narrated it to me from his father from the Prophet (ﷺ), similarly, except that he did not say: Clean your courtyards.
