Character and Manners

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Part of the perfection of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.”

On the authority of an-Nawas bin Sam’an (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Righteousness is in good character, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul, and which you dislike people finding out about. [Muslim] And on the authority of Wabisah bin Ma’bad (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “You have come to ask about righteousness.” I said, “Yes.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels at ease and the heart feels tranquil. And wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and causes uneasiness in the breast, even though people have repeatedly given their legal opinion [in its favour].”

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I intend to go on a journey, so supplicate for me." He (ﷺ) said, "May Allah grant you the provision of piety." The man said: "Please supplicate more for me." He (ﷺ) said, "May He forgive your sins!" The man repeated: "Please supplicate more for me." Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "May He facilitate for you the doing of good wherever you are."
