1.         It was humbly said to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that who is the most beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ among the bondmen? It was replied: ‘Those who are the best in manners.’ (Sahih Ibn Hayan, vol. 1, pp. 352, Hadees 486)

2.         The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would make this Du’a.
‘اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيۡ اَعُوۡذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشِّقَاقِ وَالنِّفَاقِ وَ سُوۤءِ الۡاَخۡلَاقِ’ Translation: O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! ‘I seek Your protection from hating people, hypocrisy and bad manners.’ (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 2, pp. 130, Hadees 1546)

3.         ‘اَلۡبِرُّ حُسۡنُ الۡخُلۡقِ’ i.e. Virtue is the name of good manners. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1382,  Hadees 2553)

Kept smiling despite being constantly thoughtful

4.         Despite being constantly thoughtful, our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to smile. (Derived from: Shumaail-ul-Muhammadiyah lil- Tirmizi, pp. 136, Hadees 217, Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 2, pp. 154, Hadees 1430)

 

جس کی تسکیں سے روتے ہوئے ہنس پڑیں                 اُس تبسّم کی عادت پہ لاکھوں سلام

 

A manner of visiting sick

5.         If our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would see something in someone’s eye, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would inquire after him, if someone has a minor wound etc., so he should be looked after. Sayyiduna Zayd Bin Arqam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم visited me when I was suffering from eye ache. (Abu Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 250, Hadees 250) Elaborating it Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: It has become obvious that it is a Sunnah to pay a visit to a sick person even in minor illness, such as the eye ache, earache or molar ache. They are not dangerous, yet they are illnesses. The Islamic jurists who have declared that it is not a Sunnah to pay a visit to a sick person suffering from these diseases; it means it is not a Sunnat-e-Muakkadah. (Mirat-ul-Manajeeh, vol. 2, pp. 415)
