ذِكْرُ خِصَالٍ يُسْتَحَبُّ مُجَانَبَتُهَا لِمَنْ أَحَبَّ الِاقْتِدَاءِ بِالْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ

[Machine] I asked Aisha, "What was the character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ like towards his family?" She replied, "He was the best person in character. He was not obscene, nor vulgar. He did not shout or curse at the marketplaces. He did not respond to a wrong with another wrong, but instead he forgave and pardoned."

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ خُلُقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَهْلِهِ؟ قَالَتْ «كَانَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلَا مُتَفَحِّشًا وَلَا سَخَّابًا فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَصْفَحُ»
