Outcome of good and bad manners

A pious man has said: Good manners make even a stranger friend and bad manners make even friends strangers. (Deen-o-Dunya ki Anokhi Baatayn, pp. 268)

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, books of Ahadees are full of the virtues of good manners. For persuasion, let’s listen to four blessed Ahadees and rejoice:
