Facilitate things for the people and do not make things difficult (for them)

That the Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent his (i.e. Abu Burda's) grandfather, Abu Musa and Mu`adh, may Allah be pleased with them, to Yemen and said to both of them "Facilitate things for the people (Be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult (for them), and give them good tidings, do not repulse them and both of you should obey each other." Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "O Allah's Prophet! In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from barley called Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "All intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned apostate." Mu`adh, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"
