Waki' narrated to us: Kahmas b. al-Hasan narrated to us, from Sayyar b. Manzur al-Fazari, from his father, from Buhaysah, from her father, who said: I sought permission from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and put my hand between him and his shirt. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the thing that it is not lawful to withhold?" He said, "Water." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the thing that it is not lawful to withhold?" He said, "Water." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the thing that it is not lawful to withhold?" He said, "That you do good is better for you." Muhammad b. Ja'far narrated to us: Kahmas narrated to us: I heard Sayyar b. Manzur al-Fazari say: My father narrated to me, from Buhaysah, who said: My father sought permission of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and put his hand between him and his shirt, and she related the same meaning.
