عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ عُقُوقَ الأُمَّهَاتِ، وَوَأْدَ الْبَنَاتِ،وَمَنْعًا وَهَاتِ، وَكَرِهَ لَكُمْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ، وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ، وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ ".
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden for you to be undutiful to your mothers, to bury your daughters alive, to not pay the rights of others (e.g. charity) and to beg of men. And Allah has hated for you gossip, and that you talk too much about others, and that you ask too many questions (in disputed religious matters) and to waste wealth (by extravagance)."
Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, hadith no. 2408
Grade: sahih (authentic)

Reflections:
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade every Muslim from committing the following offences:
1. Disobeying parents
2. Burying daughters alive (an archaic Arabic practise)
3. Believing and spreading rumours, especially from unvalidated and questionable sources, such as word-of-mouth and social media
4. Asking numerous questions with no intention of benefiting oneself or others, and
5. Wasting and splurging of wealth.
Let’s make sure to be dutiful to both our parents, to have love for children, to validate the news and information we hear, to reduce unnecessary querying, and to be prudent in spending our wealth.
