The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah, the Most Exalted, has reveled to me that you should show courtesy and be cordial with each other, so that nobody should consider himself superior to another or harm him."

(Muslim)

20) On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Amr Iban Al'Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) neither talked indecently, nor did he listen to indecent talk. He used to say: "The best of you are those who have the best manners".

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: "Indecent talk" refers to language that is rude and offensive.

21) On the authority of Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When one of you asks for permission three times and it is not granted, you should stop asking for it and turn back."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: 1: For example: knocking on someone's door.

(Shu'ab Al-Iman - Baihaqi)

Note: This Hadith says that if you constantly watch other people’s actions, it will cause interference in their behavior and they will no longer be themselves. Watching people constantly makes them do things only because they are being watched, and this encourages people to become unnatural and not be themselves.

26) On the authority of Aby Ayyub Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said

The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said. "It is sinful for a person to ignore his brother for more than three days. The best of them is who takes an initiative and pays solution."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note 1: "Brother" means fellow man.

Note 2: The main point of this Hadith is to never let a dispute longer than three days without being resolved.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Virtue is good conduct, and sin fills your mind with guilt and makes you fear that other people will know your sins."

(Muslim)

Note: "Virtue" in Islam refers to any good deed: Virtue is the opposite of evil.

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Imam Bukhari's versions says:

"A younger person should greet an elder one."

Note: Since Islam covers all aspects of life, including manners, there are rules of conduct described in this Hadith which should be maintained. For examples, it is courteous for a younger person to greet an older one.

35) On the authority of Abu Ummah Sudaiy bin Ajlan al Bahil (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The person who precedes others in greeting will be the closest to Allah".

Imam Tirmizi's version says:

"The Prophet was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! When two persons meet each other, who should take the lead in greeting the other? He answered "The one who wants to be closer to Allah."

36) On the authority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not abuse the dead because they have found what they have send forward."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) once asked his companions: Do you know who a pauper is? The companions replied that a pauper is a person who has no money or property. The Prophet explained the point and said: "A pauper among my followers (Ummah) is one who will come on the Day of Judgement with a good record of Salat (prayers), Saum (fasting) and Zakat (payment of poor due) but who has also abused somebody; slandered someone; usurped the goods of another person, has killed someone or beaten another person. All the oppressed people will receive a part of the aggressors’ good deeds. Should they fall short of his aggression, then the aggrieved persons sins and defaults, will be transferred from them to hi, and he will be thrown into the Fire (Hell)"

(Muslim and Tirmizi)

Note: If a person sins in his life, all his good deeds will be given to those he sinned upon on the Judgement Day.

39) On the authority of Abu Al-Abbas Sahl bin Sa'ad Sa'edi (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

Once a person passed by the Prophet,. (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) The Prophet I(Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked his companion who was sitting with him" "What do you think of this man, who has just passed this way." The companion said: " He is one of the richest: and by God if he proposes marriage to any woman, his proposal would be accepted. If he should recommend anything, his recommendation would prove effective." The Prophet kept quiet. Then another man passed, and the Prophet asked: What is your opinion of this man? The man answered: "Prophet, he belongs to the class of poor Muslims. If he goes for marriage, his proposal would not be accepted, if he were to recommend on behalf of any person, his recommendation would be rejected and if he were to speak, nobody would listen to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " This man (the poor Muslim) is better than all the people of the world who are like the one you have just praised."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: The main point of this Hadith is to not judge people based on how much money they have or on the status of their famil

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " One who is devoid of kindness is devoid of all good."

(Muslim)

Note: "Devoid" means lacking or without.

42) On the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May I point out to you the person who is not destined for the Fire, or whom the Fire of Hell will not touch? It will not touch the person who is close to the people, and who is soft, lenient and kind-hearted."

(Tirmizi)

43) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When a Muslim inquires about the health of his sick brother or visits him, an angel would say: You are good, and your action is blessed and you have made an abode in Paradise."

(Tirmizi)

Note: "Abode" means a place.

44) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A man adopts a way of life according to that of his friend, so one should be careful about whom he chooses to be friends with."

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "One who has the slightest bit of arrogance in his heart, will not be able to enter Paradise" One of the companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! Some people like nice clothes and shoes, The Prophet said: Allah is elegant and beautiful, and He likes elegance and beauty. Arrogance is rejecting faith and considering others lower than yourself."

(Muslim)

Note 1: Allah is beautiful, so He likes people to look beautiful by wearing nice clothing and having elegant things, if they can afford it.

Note 2: "Rejecting faith and considering others lower than yourself" are reason for getting sent to Hell.

"Rejecting faith" means rejecting God and His teachings.

"Considering others lower than yourself" means assuming yourself to be superior to others.

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note 1: The forbidden things are for example: killing, stealing adultery, usury, gambling, drinking alcohol and eating pork.

Note 2: The reason pork is forbidden is so that God can test people to see if they are listening to His teachings. Also, pork is pork is forbidden because pigs are considered to be unclean animals, and eating pork can cause diseases if no properly cooked.

Note 3: Usury" in English means to charge an excessively high interest rate. For example, if someone is desperate for money and someone gives him a loan, but charges double or triple the usual rate of interest. However, in Islam, any small amount of interest is considered usury.

(Bukhari)

Note: The Hadith shows that a Muslim has to be kind and flexible with people even during worship and praying.

49) On the authority of Iyaz bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The man who is merciful and kind hearted to every relative and to every Muslim, will be an inhabitant of Paradise."

(Muslim)

52) On the authority of Aba Aana, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He who leaves his place, and then comes back to it, has the greatest right to occupy that place."

(Muslim)

Note: This Hadith means that when a person is sitting, for example, in a cafeteria or theater, and leaves his seat for a few minutes, he still has the right to occupy that seat when he returns.

53) On the authority of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah b e upon him) said: " No person should ask another person to vacate his place and then sit there. The people who already were there should make room and accommodate."

60) On the authority of Aba Saeed Al-Kudri (may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Beware of sitting in public places."

The Prophet said: "If you insist on sitting there, then follow the rules of public places". The companions said: Messenger of Allah, what are the rules of public places? The Prophet said: "Lowering the eyes, removing harmful things from public places, saying: and peace be upon you too (in response to the greetings of others), commanding good and forbidding evil."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: The main point of this Hadit is that people should not sit in public places unless they follow the rules of social behavior. These rules are:

1) Do not stare at other peoples clothing or bodies (lowering the eyes").

2)If there is a harmful thing, it should be removed. For example, if you see a broken bottle or nails, you should through them in the trash.

3)You should respond to other peoples greetings.

4)You should "command good" by helping other people.

5)You should "forbid evil" by stopping people from harming other people or the property.

This day I am going to shelter them in the shade provided by Me. Today there is no shade except My shade."

(Muslim)

Note: The main point of this Hadith is that the people who have a friendship based on their shared love for Allah, and not for materialistic or superficial things, will have special treatment on Judgement Day.

63) On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

I cam to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in order to consult him regarding my father's debt. When I knocked on the door, he asked, "Who is that?" I replied "me" he said, "me, me? He repeated it as if he disliked it.

(Bukhari)

Note: In answering people, one should always state his name and not reply only with "me".

Note: Once again, this Hadith demonstrates how complete the Islam religion is. It covers manners and everything.

64) On the authority of Al-Hassan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

I learned the following from The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Leave alone that which causes you to doubt, and adhere to that which is free from doubt, for truth is comforting and falsehood is disturbing."

(Tirmizi)

Note 1: 'Adhere" means to stick or affix.

65) On the authority of Aba Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A hypocrite has three distinguishing signs; first when he speaks, he tells a lie, second when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and third when something is entrusted to him, he misappropriates it".

If one of these traits is found in a person, then he has a sign of hypocrisy until it leaves him. These four characteristics are: when he is entrusted (with something) he embezzles; when he talks he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it, and when he quarrels, he quarrels in a nasty way and with bad manners."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note 1: "He quarrels in a nasty way and with bad manners,” means people should not argue in a nasty unfair way that damages other people’s character. For example going to court and verbally attacking the other persons parents and character.

Note 2: "He quarrels in a nasty way and with bad manners" could also mean that if two friends become angry with each other, and break off their friendship, they should not reveal secrets or tell other people about their friends bad point.

67) On the authority of Aba Saeed Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Anybody amongst you who notices something evil should correct it with his own hands.

(Muslim)

68) On the authority of Aba Mas'ud Uqbah bin Amr Al'Ansari Al Badri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " "The reward of one who directs somebody to do a good deed will be equal to the reward of the latter."

(Muslim)

Note: "latter" refers to something that follows the former.

Note 1: This Hadith refers to the situation where a person cannot fulfill a good deed himself, so he directs someone else to do it. For example, if someone initiates an idea for charity and encourages rich people to donate, that person gets the same reward as those who actually donate.

Note 2: Another point of this Hadith is that if somebody asks you to donate to charity, and you can't but direct him to someone who can, you will get the reward.

69) On the authority of Aba Hurairah (may Alllah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Alllah be upon him) said: "Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, Indeed powerful is he who controls himself in fit of anger."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

70) On the authority of Aba Hurairay (may Allah be

Pleased with him), who said:

A man requested the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to advise him. The Prophet said: " Do not be overwhelmed by anger." The man repeated his request for advice several times. Every time the Prophet said: "Do not be overwhelmed by anger."

(Bukhari)

Note 1: This Hadit was said as personal advice to someone who had a problem controlling his temper.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do you know that backbiting is? The companions said: "Allah and his Messenger know best: He (the Prophet) said: "Backbiting is talking about your brother in his absence and about what he hates." One of the companions said: "If what you say is true even then, you backbite him and if no such thing exists in him then you brought a false accession against him"

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: "Ansari Man refers to Muslims from Medina during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

73) On the authority of Aba Hamza Anas Ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings Allah be upon him said: "None of you truly believed (in Islam) until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself".

And he who overlooks the sin of a Muslim, Allah will overlook his sins on the Day of Resurrection."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: The Day of Resurrection is a horrible day for everybody because everybody will be sweating and standing in heat worrying about judgement.

75) On the authority of Aba Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not envy another, do not inflate prices one to another, do not hate one another, do not turn away from one another, and o not undercut one another, but be you, O servants of Allah, brothers. A Muslim is the brother of Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor does he fail him, he neither lies to him nor does he hold him in contempt. Piety is right here (and he pointed to his breast three times). It is evil enough for a man to hold his brother Muslim in contempt. It is absolutely a sin for a Muslim to kill another Muslim, or to take his property, or to destroy his honor." (Muslim)

Note: In this Hadith the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has mentioned three times that: Piety and faith are in the heart.

Note: "Piety" means righteousness, devoutness, and obedience to God..

76) On the authority of Aba Hurarah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " Part someone being a good Muslim is his leaving alone that which does not concern him: (Tirmizi)

Note: The main point of this Hadit is not to interfere in other peoples business..

77) On the authority of Aba Mas'us Iqba Ibn Amr Al-Ansari al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: "Among the words people obtained from the previous Prophets are: If you have no shame (self respect), then do as you wish."
