Good Manners when Dealing with the Creation
by  Shaikh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen
Makaarim-ul- Akhlaaq (pg. 23-31) – Al-Ibaanah.com

As for having good manners with the creation, then some of them have defined it as withholding abuse, extending kindness and having a cheerful countenance. This has been mentioned as a saying of Al-Hasan Al-Basree, may Allaah have mercy on him. [1]

First: The Meaning of Withholding Abuse:

What is meant by withholding abuse is that a person refrains from harming others whether financially, spiritually or socially (i.e. by harming his reputation). So whoever does not withhold from harming the creation, he does not possess good manners. On the contrary, he is ill-mannered.

The Messenger proclaimed the prohibition of harming a Muslim through any means of abuse. He did this during the greatest of gatherings in which he congregated with his ummah, saying: “Indeed, your blood (i.e. lives), your wealth and your honor are sacred for you just like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours.“ [2]

How to Acquire Good Manners : Shaykh ibn Uthaimeen.

[This is a chapter from the book “Makaarim-ul-Akhlaaq” (pg. 32-35) [Dar-ul-Watan Lin-Nashr] By Shaikh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen, prepared and arranged by Khaalid Abu Saalih.]

We mentioned previously that good manners can either be present in someone naturally or they can be instilled into him (i.e. through learning). And we stated that inherent good manners are better than acquired good manners. We mentioned a proof for this which was the Messenger of Allaah’s (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) statement to Al-Ashaj bin ‘Abdil-Qais (radyAllaahu ‘anhu): “Rather, Allaah has molded (i.e. created) you upon these two (noble characteristics).” [1]

Shaikh ‘Uthaimeen: “If You See Yourself as Sluggish in Regards to Good…”

BY ABOO HAATIM M. FAROOQ OCTOBER 18, 2014 AQEEDAH, ARTICLES, PURIFICATION OF THE SOUL

الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين، نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين أما بعد

With regards to the saying of Allaah, The Most High:

{وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ انْبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ اقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ}

((But Allaah disliked their being sent, so He made them lag behind, and it was said [to them]; “Remain [behind] with those who remain.”)) (At-Tawbah: 46)

Shaikh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) said:

{وَقِيلَ اقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ}

((and it was said [to them]; “Remain [behind] with those who remain.”))

Good Character :

Explanation of Four Ahadeeth from Imaam al-Bukhaaree’s al-Adab-ul-Mufrad.

Hadeeth no. 270: From Abud-Dardaa· –radiyallaahu `anhu-: from the Prophet    tha the said:
” There is nothing that will be heavier upon the balance than good character” 
[Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “ Hasan: ‘as-Saheehah‘ (no.876)”]

Hadeeth no. 272 : From `Abdullaah ibn `Amr –radiyallaahu `anhumaa-: that he heard the Prophet say: “Shall I inform you of the most beloved of you to me, and those who will be seated closest to me on the Day of Resurrection? “  So the people remained silent, so he repeated it two or three times. The people said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allaah!’ He said: “Those who are best in character”
[Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “ Saheeh: ‘as-Saheehah‘ (no.792)”]

Hadeeth no. 277: From Anas –radiyallaahu `anhu– who said: ” I served the Prophet for ten years, and he never said ‘Uff‘ to me, and he never said to me about anything which I had not done: ‘Why didn’t you do it?!’ Nor about anything which I had done: ‘Why did you do it?!’.” 
[Saheeh: Reported by al-Bukhaaree in his ‘Saheeh ‘(no.6038) and by Muslim (no.2309).]

Hadeeth no. 323: From Asmaa· bint Yazeed –radiyallaahu `anhaa– that she said ‘The Prophet said: “Shall I not inform you of the best ones from amongst you? “They said: ‘Yes, indeed.’ He said: “Those who when they are seen, then Allaah is remembered. Shall I not inform you of the worst ones from amongst you? “They said: ‘Yes, indeed.’ He said: “Those who go about carrying tales to cause mischief between friends, those who seek harm and corruption for the innocent“.’ 
[Shaikh al-Albaanee said: ‘Hasan‘.]
