Three Ahadeeth On Akhlaq
- The Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "I am a guarantor of a home in the upper part of Paradise for whomsoever possesses good conduct." (Abu Dawood)
- On the authority of Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junada and Abu Abdur Rahman Muadh ibn Jabal radhiallahu `anhuma from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam who said, "Fear Allah wherever you are and follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out, and behave towards the people with a good behaviour." (At-Tirmidhi)
- Before he was a Muslim, Zayd ibn Sa'na came to the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam demanding that he repay a debt to him. He pulled his garment from his shoulder, seized hold of him and behaved coarsely to the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam saying, "Banu `Abdul-Muttalib, you are procrastinating." `Umar radhiallahu `anhu chased him off and spoke harshly to him while the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam merely smiled. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "`Umar, he and I need something else from you. Command me to repay well and command him to ask for his debt well." Then he said, "I still owe him three." `Umar commanded that he be paid and he added twenty sa` more since he had alarmed him. That, according to Zayd's explanation, was the reason for him becoming Muslim. He said, "There were only two remaining signs of prophethood which I had not yet recognized in Muhammad or noticed: forbearance overcoming quick-temperedness and extreme ignorance only increasing him in forbearance. I tested him for these and I found him as described." (Al-Bayhaqi, Ibn Hibban, at-Tabarani and Abu Nu`aym with a sound isnad)
