General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)

Sa’id b. Malik said:

My ears heard it end my heart remembered it from Muhammad (ﷺ) who said: if a man claims to be the son of a man who is not his father, paradise will be forbidden for him. He said: I then met Abu Bakrah and mentioned it to him. He said: my ears heard it and my heart remembered it from Muhammad (peace be upon him). ‘Asim said : I said : Abu ‘Uthman! Two men testified before you. Who are they? He said : One of them is the one who is first to shoot arrow in the path of Allah or in the path of Islam, that is to say : Sa’d b. Malik. The other is the one came from al-Taif with ten and some men on foot. He then mentioned his excellence. Abu Dawud said : When al-Nufaili mentioned this tradition, he said : I swear by Allah, this is sweater with me than honey, that is no say, his way transmission. Abu ‘Ali said : I heard Abu Dawud say : I heard Ahmad say : The people of Kufah have no light in their traditions. I did not see them like the people of Basrah. They learnt it from Shu’bah.

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying :

if a man becomes the client of any people without the permission of his patrons (i.e. those who have freed him), on him will be the curse of Allah, of angels and of all people; no obligatory or supererogatory worship will be accepted from him.

Anas b. Malik reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

If anyone pretends to be the son of a man other than his father, or attributes his freedom to people other than those who set him free, on him will be the curse of Allah that will continue till the day of resurrection.

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah, Most High, has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting in ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a miserable sinner. You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their ancestors. They are merely fuel in Jahannam; or they will certainly be of less account with Allah than the beetle which rolls dung with its nose.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:

If anyone helps his people in an unrighteous cause, he is like a camel which falls into a well and is pulled out by its tail.

‘Abd Allah b. Mas’ud said :

I went to the prophet (ﷺ) when he was in a skin tent. He then mentioned something similar to it.

Narrated Wathilah ibn al-Asqa':

I asked: Messenger of Allah! what is party spirit? He replied: That you should help your people in wrongdoing.

Narrated Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'sham al-Mudlaji:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us an address and said: The best of you is the one who defends his tribe, so long as he commits no sin. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ayyub b. Suwaid is weak.

Jubair b. Mut’im reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

he who summons others to party-spirit does not belong to us; and he who dies upholding party spirit does not belong to us.’

Abu Musa reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

the son of a sister of a people belongs to them.

Narrated AbuUqbah:

AbdurRahman ibn AbuUqbah quoted his father AbuUqbah who was a client from the people of Persia as saying: I was present at Uhud along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and on smiting one of the polytheists I said: Take this from me who is the young Persian. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then turned to me and said: Why did you not say: Take this from me who is the young Ansari?

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When a man loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

A man was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and a man passed by him and said: Messenger of Allah! I love this man. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then asked: Have you informed him? He replied: No. He said: Inform him. He then went to him and said: I love you for Allah's sake. He replied: May He for Whose sake you love me love you!

‘Abd Allah b. al-samit told that Abu Dharr said :

Messenger of Allah! A man loves some people, but he cannot do work like their work. He replied; Yes, Abu Dharr, will be with those whom you love. Abu Dharr then repeated it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also repeated it.

Anas b. Malik said :

I never saw the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) so happy about anything as I saw them happy about this thing. A man said : Messenger of Allah! A man loves another man for the good work which he does, but he himself cannot do like it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A man will be with those whom he loves.

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: He who is consulted is trustworthy.

Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari said :

A man came to the prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah! I have been left without a mount. So give me a mount. He replied: I have no mount to give, but go to so and so; he may perhaps give you a mount. He then went to him and he gave him a mount. He came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about it. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: if anyone guides someone to a good (deed), he will get the reward like the reward of the one who does it.

Narrated AbudDarda':

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Your love for a thing causes blindness and deafness.

Abu Musa reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

Make intercession to me, you will be rewarded, for Allah decrees what he wishes by the tongue of his prophet.

Narrated Mu'awiyah:

Make intercession, you will be rewarded, for I purposely delay a matter so that you intercede and then you are rewarded. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If you make intercession, you will be rewarded.
