When a man loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him May Allah have mercy on a man who is lenient when he sells, when he buys, and when he asks for repayment of the debt There was a man who used to give loans to people. He would say to his servant: ‘When you come to an insolvent person, overlook his debt; perhaps Allah would overlook our sins.’ Verily, Allah has enjoined kindness in all things Do not get angry Those who act justly will be with Allah on pulpits of light at the right Hand of the Most Compassionate, Exalted be He, and both His Hands are right He who is deprived of gentleness is deprived of goodness Do not belittle any good deed, even if it be meeting your brother with a cheerful face The strong man is not the one who can overpower others; rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he is angry Whoever guides to a good deed will get the same reward as the doer of that deed Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent Whoever does not show mercy to people, Allah Almighty does not show mercy to him The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the foremost deed that leads people to Paradise, and he replied: "Fear of Allah and good character Modesty is part of faith Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise Whoever protects the honor of his brother in his absence, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Judgment Verily, Allah loves the servant who is pious, free of wants, and inconspicuous The most perfect believer in terms of his faith is the one who has the most excellent manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their womenfolk Verily, lenience is not found in anything but it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything but it makes it defective Verily, a believer can attain, by his good manners, the rank of one who fasts and prays often Verily, the best of you are those who have the best manners Make matters easy and do not make them difficult, and give people glad tidings and do not drive them away Those who are merciful are shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to the inhabitants of earth and the One in the heaven will be merciful to you No slave covers another slave in this world except that Allah would cover him on the Day of Judgment Allah divided mercy into one hundred parts. He retained with Him ninety-nine parts and sent down to earth one part. Because of this one part, creatures show mercy towards each other, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof away from its youngster lest it should hurt it Fear Allah wherever you are, follow a bad deed with a good deed and it will erase it, and treat people with good morals Righteousness is good morals, and sinfulness is what your heart is not at ease with, and you hate that people know about it Verily, some of what reached people from the speech of the early prophets: If you feel no shame, then do whatever you wish None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself Anyone pledges allegiance to a ruler, giving him the grasp of his hand and sincerity of his heart, he should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward disputing his authority, then you should behead the latter There is nothing heavier on the believer's scale on the Day of Judgment than good morals. Indeed, Allah detests the one who is indecent and foulmouthed O Messenger of Allah, who is the best among people? I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise for the one who refrains from arguing even if he is right The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the foremost deed that leads people to Paradise, and he replied: Fear of Allah and good character. Then, he was asked about the most things that lead people into Hellfire, and he said: The tongue and the private parts A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe, and a Muhājir (emigrant) is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden A believer is not a slanderer, nor a curser, nor a person who speaks obscenely, nor a person who uses foul language It is out of glorification of Allah, Almighty, to honor the grey-haired (old) Muslim, and the bearer of the Qur'an who neither exaggerates concerning it nor neglects it, and to honor the just ruler. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him honor his guest with his due reward. They said: O Messenger of Allah, what is his due reward? He said: "A day and a night (of excellent accommodation) and hospitality is for three days, and whatever is beyond that is charity offered to him." One will be with those whom he loves An honest Muslim storekeeper, who carries out the orders of his master and pays fully what he has been ordered to give with a good heart and pays to that person to whom he was ordered to pay, is regarded as one of the two charitable persons Whoever suppresses his rage while being able to vent it, Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will call him before the entire creation on the Day of Judgment so that he can choose whomever of the houris he wishes to have Whoever is tried by having daughters and he treats them kindly, they will be a screen for him from Hellfire Allah, the Almighty, will say on the Day of Judgment: Where are those who loved each other for My glory? Today, I will shelter them under My shade the day when there is no shade but My shade Intercede and you will be rewarded, and Allah will decide what He loves on the tongue of His Prophet The best of companions in the sight of Allah, the Almighty, is the best of them to his companion, and the best of neighbors in the sight of Allah, the Almighty, is the best of them to his neighbor Where is the one who was swearing by Allah that he would not do a favor? Richness is not the abundance of wealth. Rather, true richness is self-sufficiency The liar is not the one who seeks reconciliation between people, conveying good, or saying good things The believer should not be stung twice from the same hole I was walking with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and he was wearing a Najrāni cloak with a thick hem. A Bedouin approached him and pulled him violently by his cloak Do not say "upon you be peace"; "Upon you be peace" is how you greet the dead. Say instead "peace be upon you" The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents, and the displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of the parents Whoever gives up wearing elegant expensive clothes out of humbleness with Allah, while he can afford it, Allah will call him on the Day of Judgment before all people and let him choose whichever of the garments of faith he would like to wear Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy A believer is the mirror of his fellow believer Verily, Allah, the Exalted, revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another or boasts of oneself before another Verily you cannot embrace and suffice all people with your money, but you can embrace and suffice them all with a cheerful face and good manners Will you not listen? Will you not listen? Simplicity is part of faith, simplicity is part of faith Allah is Lenient and He loves leniency in all matters Indeed you possess two traits that Allah loves: Prudence and deliberation Indeed, among the most beloved and nearest of you to me on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best moral conduct, and, indeed, the most hated of you to me and farthest from me on the Day of Judgment are the talkative, the pompous, and the Mutafayhiqūn O group of Muhājirūn and Ansār! There are among you such people who have no property and no kinsfolk. So let each one of you take along with him two or three men Visit the sick, feed the hungry, and set free the captive This is mercy that Allah, the Exalted, has placed in the hearts of His slaves. Verily, Allah shows mercy to those of His slaves who are merciful Any Muslim who loses three of his children will not be touched by the Fire except in fulfillment of the oath He was not unseemly or obscene in his speech, nor was he loud-voiced in the markets, nor did he return evil for evil, but he would forgive and pardon When your servant brings you your food, if you do not ask him to join you, then (at least) give him a bite or two, or a mouthful or two, for he was in charge of preparing it A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the one who bought the land found in his land a jar containing gold By Allah! I do give a man and I leave another, and the one that I leave is more beloved to me than the one that I give A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am weary Procrastination in payment of a debt by a rich man is injustice, but when one of you is referred for payment to a wealthy man, let him be referred You are a person who has remnants of the ignorant pre-Islamic manners. Your slaves are your brothers and servants whom Allah has placed under your authority. He who has his brother under his authority should feed him from whatever he eats, dress him with whatever he wears, and not assign burdensome and difficult tasks to them that are beyond their capacity. If you do this then help them A man from the Children of Israel asked another to lend him one thousand dinars Bear in mind, O Abu Mas‘ūd, that Allah has more power over you than you have over this boy. I said: I will never beat a slave ever again Do not envy one another, do not raise prices by overbidding against one another, do not hate one another, do not turn your backs on one another, and do not undercut one another in trade; and be, O slaves of Allah, our brothers
