43. Good Conduct and Manners
٤٣۔ كتاب الأدب
Gladden people and do not scare them; make things easy and do not make them difficult.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ قَالَ بَشِّرُوا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرُوا وَيَسِّرُوا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرُوا
I came to the Prophet ﷺ. The people began to praise me and make a mention of me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I know you, that is, he knew him. I said: My father and mother be sacrificed for you! you were my partner and how good a partner ; you neither disputed nor quarrelled.
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَعَلُوا يُثْنُونَ عَلَىَّ وَيَذْكُرُونِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ يَعْنِي بِهِ قُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي كُنْتَ شَرِيكِي فَنِعْمَ الشَّرِيكُ كُنْتَ لاَ تُدَارِي وَلاَ تُمَارِي
