ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ تَعْقِيبَ الْإِسَاءَةِ بِالْإحْسَانِ مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ فِي أَسْبَابِهِ
that Muʿādh b. Jabal planned to go on a journey, so he said: O Prophet of Allah, ˹please˺ give me some advice. He said, "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him." He said: O Prophet of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺ He said, "When you have done something bad, then ˹follow it up with˺ doing good." He said: O Messenger of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺. He said, "Be steadfast ˹in these˺ and improve your character."
أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ أَرَادَ سَفَرًا فقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي، قَالَ: «اعْبُدِ اللَّهَ، لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي، قَالَ: «إِذَا أَسَأْتَ فَأَحْسِنْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ «اسْتَقِمْ وَلْيَحْسُنْ خُلُقُكَ۔»
