Beautiful Conduct, Honesty and Justice Enjoined by Islam
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“The believers whose faith is most perfect are those who have the most beautiful character.”
“A person can attain through beautiful moral conduct (husn-e-khulq) the same status which is gained by fasting during the day and worshipping all through night.”
“There is nothing more weightier that will be placed on the believer’s scale (on the day of judgement) than beautiful character. The one with beautiful character will attain the degree of one who prays during the night and fasts during the day.”
“Of all the things which mankind has been given by Allah, the best is beautiful moral conduct.”
“The foundation of intelligence, after faith in Allah, is loving kindness towards the people.”
“The most beloved of you and the most nearest to me in the hereafter are those who possess beautiful character. And indeed the most hated of you and the furthest from me in the hereafter are those of you who possess bad character.” (Adab al-mufrad) In this thread will be posted Verses of the Qur'an and their Tafseers, Hadiths, sayings of the pious, and anecdotes which display the beautiful conduct, honesty, integrity, and justice enjoined by Islam – such qualities that was once the norm amongst Muslims when the religion around which their lives were based upon was yet to be diluted, ‘modernised’, or corrupted by foreign influences. |

٤٨٠٠ - حدثنا محمد بن عثمان الدمشقي أبو الجماهر، حدثنا أبو كعب أيوب بن محمد السعدى، حدثني سليمان بن حبيب المحاربى عن أبي أمامة، قال: قال رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-صلى الله عليه وسلم-: " أنا زعيم ببيت في ربض الجنة، لمن ترك المراء وإن كان محقا، وببيت في وسط الجنة لمن ترك الكذب وإن كان مازحا، وببيت في أعلى الجنة لمن حسن خلقه". "Whoever leaves argumentation, even when he is in the right, will have a home built for him on the edge of Paradise. Whoever avoids lying even when joking will have a home built for him in the middle of Paradise. And whoever improves his character, a home will be built for him in the highest part of Paradise.” Abū Dāwūd (4800). Note: This ḥadīth is usually attributed to al-Tirmidhī; however, I could not locate it within his works, and have always known it to be from Sunan Abī Dāwūd. |

And with regards to husbands treating their wives with compassion, Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فَإِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا
And treat them (your wives) in a good manner.
If you dislike them, then it is quite likely that you dislike something and Allah has placed a lot of good in it (Surah an-Nisaa, Verse: 19)
In the Hadith, the Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
خيركم خيركم لأهله وأنا خيركم لأهلي
“The best of you is he who is good to his wife and I am good to my wife”
(Tirmizi, #: 4269, Narrated by Aa’ishah)
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radiallahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
استوصوا بالنساء خيرا
“Treat your wives with kindness”.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, #: 5186, Narrated by Abu Hurayrah)

As for conduct towards Animals
It is stated in the Ahadith of Nabiصلى الله عليه و سلم:
عن سهل ابن الحنظلية قال مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ببعير قد لحق ظهره ببطنه فقال اتقوا الله فى هذه البهائم المعجمة فاركبوها وكلوها صالحة
It has been narrated from Hazrat Sahl bin Hanthala رضي الله عنه that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسل passed by a camel which was very thin, he then said “Fear Allah regarding these animals, so ride it and eat it Appropriately.”(Abu Dawood)
عن جابر أن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم مر عليه حمار قد وسم فى وجهه فقال لعن الله الذى وسمه
Hazrat Jabir رضي الله عنه narrates that Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم passed by a donkey which was branded in its face, he then said “May the curse of Allah be on the one who branded it.” (Muslim)
عن عبد الله أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم-قال عذبت امرأة فى هرة سجنتها حتى ماتت فدخلت فيها النار لا هى أطعمتها وسقتها إذ حبستها ولا هى تركتها تأكل من خشاش الأرض
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said “A woman was punished regarding a cat she imprisoned until it died. She was put in Jahanam. She did not feed it nor gave it to drink; instead she imprisoned it and did not leave it to eat from the vermin of the earth.” (Muslim)

Justice between Wives
Allah Most High says:
“If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, three, or four, but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one…”(Surah al-Nisa, 3)
It is a grave sin to treat the wives unequally. Any man who wishes to take a second wife also has to meet the important condition of fair treatment of all his wives. The verse quoted above includes the command to treat wives equally, and anyone who is unable to do so should marry only one wife.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “A man who has two wives and he does not deal justly with them will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment with half his body paralysed.” (Sunan Tirmidhi, no. 1141)
Equal treatment includes all social, economical and physical needs. It is very difficult for human beings to be completely fair, a fact which is recognised by the Qur’an:
“You are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: but turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air)…” (Surah al-Nisa, 129)
The above verse alludes to the fact that, a man must be fair in his external treatment of his wives, in that he should spend equal time with all of them; spend out on them equally, etc. However, if his heart is inclined towards one or he has more love for one wife over the other, then that is not blameworthy, for it is beyond his control

No Harsh Words!
Anas ibn Malik RA reported: I served the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for ten years. By Allah, he never even said to me “Uff!” and he never said harshly for anything, “Why did you do that?” or, “Why did you not do that?”
Sahih Bukhari 5691, Sahih Muslim 2309

Parents, Kin, Orphans, the Poor, the Neighbour, The Slave and even the Stranger!
“Worship Allaah and join not with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor, the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses. Verily, Allaah does not like such as are proud and boastful.” (An-Nisaa’ 4: 36)

The Forbearance and Tolerance of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) In producing the narration below, several books have been cited since each one seems to contain a small detail or two not found in the other books: “ Verily, when Allah Ta’ala willed for the guidance of Zayd ibn Sa’nah, he said: “There was not a sign of Prophethood but that I had recognised it in the face of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) when I looked at him, except two which I had not (yet) experienced from him: His forbearance overcomes his anger (lit: an act of ignorance), and a severe act of ignorance (against him), does not increase him except in forbearance. (Al-Aahaad wa l-Mathaani of Ibn Abi Aasim) Ibn Sa’d narrates that Zayd said: “ No description of Muhammad in the Torah remained but that I had seen it (in him), except forbearance…” (Tabaqat Ibn Sa’d)

Toleration of Personal Abuse Toleration of personal abuse was the Sunnah (blessed way) of all the Prophets (alayhis salaam). Their anger was only reserved for the sake of Allah and His Deen. In contrast, today, amongst even the (so-called) pious, anger is usually reserved only for personal inconveniences, whilst even the greatest of transgressions of the Shariah fail to trigger the slightest of reactions. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal has recorded the following narration in his Musnad, with an authentic chain: A man from amongst the Ansar uttered some words of grave impropriety regarding the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). My soul would not allow me to rest until I reported this to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
(In other books of Hadith, it is mentioned that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) became visibly aggrieved and his blessed face became red. Ibn Mas’ood continues:)I dearly wished I could be ransomed from it (the abominable statement and reporting it) with all the people and wealth.Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) responded:‘If I am hurt, then indeed Musa (alayhi salaam) was harmed with worse than this and he remained patient.’Then Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) mentioned a Prophet whose people belied him, and they wounded him (by beating him up and bashing his face) when he came to them with the command of Allah. He said, while wiping the blood off his face:“O Allah! Forgive my people, for they do not know.”Source: www.reliablefatwas.com |
