that Muʿādh b. Jabal planned to go on a journey, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ˹please˺ give me some advice." He said, "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him." Muʿādh said, "O Messenger of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺" He said, "When you have done something bad, then ˹follow it up with˺ doing good." Muʿādh said, "O Messenger of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺." The Prophet said, "Be steadfast ˹in these˺ and improve your character." (Using translation from Ḥākim 7616)
أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ أَرَادَ سَفَرًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ «اعْبُدِ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ «وَإِذَا أَسَأْتَ فَأَحْسِنْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ «اسْتَقِمْ وَلْتُحَسِّنْ خُلُقَكَ»
