1781/1 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah likes three things for you and dislikes three things for you. He likes for you that you worship Him and not associate anything with Him, and that you all hold fast to the rope of Allah and not be disunited; and He dislikes for you irrelevant talk, persistent questioning, and squandering money.” [Narrated by Muslim] It has been explained above.
1782/2 - Warrād, the scribe of Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah, reported: “Al-Mughīrah dictated a letter to me addressed to Mu‘āwiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate at the end of each obligatory prayer saying: ‘Lā ilāha illallāh wahdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr, Allāhumma lā māni‘ limā a‘tayt wa lā mu‘ti limā mana‘t wa lā yanfa‘u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd (There is no god but Allah. He is the Only One and has no partners. For Him is the Kingdom and all praise is due to Him. He is Omnipotent. O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You).’ He also wrote to him that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid irrelevant talk, the squandering of money, and persistent questioning. He also used to forbid undutifulness to mothers, burying infant daughters alive, depriving others of their rights, and acquisition of property wrongfully.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim] It has been explained above.

1) It is prohibited to engage in what is useless, such as idle talk, the squandering of money, and persistent questioning.
2) The excellent commands of the Shariah include adhering to monotheism, keeping away from polytheism, sticking to the Muslim body, and not falling into disunity.
03) The prohibition of undutifulness is general, including mothers and fathers. However, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) singled out mothers because of their weakness and greater need.
