al-Adab al-Mufrad
الأدَبُ المُفْرَد
Collection of over 1,300 ḥadīths emphasizing Islamic etiquette, personal conduct, compassion, and social dealings: from parents and children to neighbors and servants. This collection is an extension of Imām al-Bukhārī’s Chapter of Adab (Etiquette) in his Ṣaḥīḥ. However, unlike Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, the Imām did not adhere strictly to the criteria of Ṣaḥīḥ narrations, though many ḥadīths here are Ṣaḥīḥ or Ḥasan. Full name: al-Adab al-Mufrad (الأدَبُ المُفْرَد) (The Separate ˹Book˺ on Etiquettes). Sources: sunnah.com for Arabic text and English translation. The English translation has been reviewed and improved by myself and other contributors.

Ibn 'Abbas said, "A mouse came and began to drag the wick. The slavegirl moved to stop it. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Leave it.' The mouse brought the wick and put it on the mat where he was sitting. It burned a hole in it the size of a dirham. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When you go to sleep, put out the lights. Shaytan guides things like this and then they burn you.'"
جَاءَتْ فَأْرَةٌ فَأَخَذَتْ تَجُرُّ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَذَهَبَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ تَزْجُرُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعِيهَا فَجَاءَتْ بِهَا فَأَلْقَتْهَا عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَاعِدًا عَلَيْهَا فَاحْتَرَقَ مِنْهَا مِثْلُ مَوْضِعِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا سُرُجَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدُلُّ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا فَتَحْرِقُكُمْ
