78. Adab (Good Manners and Form)
٧٨۔ كتاب الأدب
From among the people, Ibn Um ʿAbd greatly resembled Messenger of Allah ﷺs in solemn gate and good appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them.
سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ دَلاًّ وَسَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَبْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ لاَ نَدْرِي مَا يَصْنَعُ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِذَا خَلاَ
ʿAbdullah said, "The best talk is Allah's Book (Qur'an), and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad."
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَأَحْسَنَ الْهَدْىِ هَدْىُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
