malik:47-1Mālik > Muʿādh b. Jabal

Yahya related to me from Malik that Muadh ibn Jabal said, "The last advice the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me when I put my foot in the stirrup was that he said, 'Make your character good for the people, Muadh ibn Jabal!' "  

مالك:٤٧-١وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ

قَالَ آخِرُ مَا أَوْصَانِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ وَضَعْتُ رِجْلِي فِي الْغَرْزِ أَنْ قَالَ أَحْسِنْ خُلُقَكَ لِلنَّاسِ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ
