"The best of you are those best in conduct.' And the Prophet was not one who was obscene, nor one who uttered obscenities." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1975)   

أحمد:٦٥٠٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُ فَاحِشًا وَلَا مُتَفَحِّشًا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْأَخْلَاقًا

لَمْ يَكُنِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا

لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا
