According to ʿAbd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakra, his father (Abu Bakra) (ra) said that while the Prophet (saw) was sitting on his camel (on his Farewell Pilgrimage), and a man was holding the halter or nose rope of the camel, he addressed the people as follows: “Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are as sacred for you as the sacredness of this day of yours (the day before the Eid al-Adha), in this month of yours (Dhu al-Hijja) in this city of yours (Mecca).” (al-Bukhari, al-ʿIlm, 9; Muslim, al-Qasama, 30)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Everything of a Muslim is haram to a Muslim: His property, honor and blood. It is evil enough for any man to despise his Muslim brother.” (Abu Daʾud, al-Adab, 35)

Usama b. Sharik (ra) said, “I saw some bedouin ask the Prophet (saw), ‘Would it be sinful to do this? Would it be sinful to do that?’ The Prophet said, ‘O servants of Allah! Allah has only made sinful that which transgresses the honor of one’s brother. That is what is sinful.’” (Ibn Maja, al-Tibb, 1; Abu Daʾud, al-Manasik, 87)

ʿAlqama said, “While I was walking with ʿAbd Allah (b. Masʿud) (ra), he told me the following: ‘(One day) while we were with the Prophet (saw) he said, “He who can afford to marry should marry, because it is the best way to keep him from looking at what is forbidden (other women), and protecting him from unlawful sexual relations.”’” (al-Bukhari, al-Sawm, 10; Muslim, al-Nikah, 3)

Al-Harith b. al-Nuʿman said that he heard Anas b. Malik (ra) report the following ḥadīth from the Messenger of Allah (saw): “Be kind to your children and raise them in the best way.” (Ibn Maja, al-Adab, 3)
