Firstly:
What is required of every Muslim is to be very careful in
what he says and writes, before attributing it to the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him), so that he will not fall into the sin of
telling lies about him and attributing to him something that he did not say.
Not all words that are correct and true, or have a beautiful meaning or
eloquent wording can be attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) just because they appear good.
It was narrated from al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah (may Allah be
pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him) said: “Whoever narrates a hadeeth from me knowing that it is
false is one of the liars.”
And it was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said:
“Whoever deliberately tells a lie about me, let him take his
place in Hell.” Agreed upon.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It is haram (impermissible) to narrate a fabricated hadeeth
for one who knows or thinks that it is most likely fabricated. Whoever
narrates the hadeeth, knowing or thinking that it is most likely fabricated,
and does not explain the facts about its narration and that it is weak, is
included in this warning and comes under the heading of the liars who tell
lies about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him). This is also indicated by the previous hadeeth, “Whoever deliberately
tells a lie about me, let him take his place in Hell.” End quote.
Secondly:
With regard to the words that are mentioned in the question,
whether they are a single hadeeth or a number of hadeeths, we cannot —
after researching the matter — find any basis at all for them being from
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), either
with or without an isnad (chain of transmission). As far as we know, they
were not mentioned by any of those who spoke about morals and manners and
heart softening reports.
The phrase “Four things that stop the Rizq (sustenance):
sleeping in the morning”: it was narrated from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (may Allah
be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) that he said: “Sleeping in the morning prevents some provision.”
This was narrated by Abu Na’eem in al-Hilyah, 9/251, but it
is a very weak hadeeth. See: al-Silsilah al-Da’eefah by al-Shaykh al-Albani
(may Allah have mercy on him), 3019.
And it was narrated with the words: “Do not sleep and miss
seeking your provision between Fajr (early morning) prayer and sunrise.”
This is also very weak. See al-Da’eefah, 6991.
With regard to the phrase “Four things increase provision,”
in which regular charity is included: something similar was narrated by
al-Daylami in Musnad al-Firdaws (1/47), with the wording: “Seek help with
provision by means of charity.” But this is a da’eef hadeeth.
See: Da’eef al-Jami’, 818, by al-Shaykh al-Albani.
And Allah knows best.
