حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَدَلِيِّ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَمْ يَکُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم فَاحِشًا وَلا مُتَفَحِّشًا وَلا صَخَّابًا فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَلا يَجْزِئُ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَکِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَصْفَحُ

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports, that: "It was not the nature of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam to talk indecently, nor did he engage himself in the use of obscene language. Nor did he shout and talk in the bazaars (which is against dignity). He did not avenge a bad deed with a bad one, but forgave it, and thereafter did not even mention it".

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلا ضَرَبَ خَادِمًا َوِلا امْرَأَةً

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports: ''Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam did noy hit anything with his mubaarak hands, besides the time when he made jihaad in the Path of Allah. He did not hit a servant nor a women (wife, slave girl etc.)''.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم مُنْتَصِرًا مِنْ مَظْلَمَةٍ ظُلِمَهَا قَطُّ مَا لَمْ يُنْتَهَکْ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ تَعَالَی شَيْئٌ فَإِذَا انْتُهِکَ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ شَيْئٌ کَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّهِمْ فِي ذَلِکَ غَضَبًا وَمَا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَکُنْ مَأْثَمًا

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha says: ''I have never seen Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam avenge himself for a personal affliction, but if one transgressed a prohibited thing from those prohibited by Allah, (To commit a haraam act. The commentators on hadith say the rights of man are also included) then there was no one more angry than Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. Whenever Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was given a choice between two things, he always chose the one that was simple, if it did not lead to any type of sin".

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْکَدِرِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ بِئْسَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوْ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لَهُ فَأَلانَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَکَهُ النَّاسُ أَوْ وَدَعَهُ النَّاسُ اتِّقَائَ فُحْشِهِ

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports. "A person asked permission to present himself before Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam while I was with him. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam said: 'What a bad person is he among his community'. After saying this, he gave him permission to enter. After the person entered, he spoke very softly to him. When the person left I said: 'O Rasulullah, you said what you said before he entered, then you spoke so softly to him,. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam said: 'O 'Aayeshah, the worst person is that who stops speaking to one because of his indecency"'.

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَکِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جُمَيْعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ أَبِي هَالَةَ زَوْجِ خَدِيجَةَ وَيُکْنَی أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ ابْنٍ لأَبِي هَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَأَلْتُ أَبي عَنْ سِيرَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلی الله عليه وسلم فِي جُلَسَائِهِ فَقَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم دَائِمَ الْبِشْرِ سَهْلَ الْخُلُقِ لَيِّنَ الْجَانِبِ لَيْسَ بِفَظٍّ وَلا غَلِيظٍ وَلا صَخَّابٍ وَلا فَحَّاشٍ وَلا عَيَّابٍ وَلا مُشَاحٍ يَتَغَافَلُ عَمَّا لا يَشْتَهِي وَلا يُؤْيِسُ مِنْهُ رَاجِيهِ وَلا يُخَيَّبُ فِيهِ قَدْ تَرَکَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ ثَلاثٍ الْمِرَائِ وَالإِکْثَارِ وَمَا لا يَعْنِيهِ وَتَرَکَ النَّاسَ مِنْ ثَلاثٍ کَانَ لا يَذُمُّ أَحَدًا وَلا يَعِيبُهُ وَلا يَطْلُبُ عَوْرتَهُ وَلا يَتَکَلَّمُ إِلا فِيمَا رَجَا ثَوَابَهُ وَإِذَا تَکَلَّمَ أَطْرَقَ جُلَسَاؤُهُ کَأَنَّمَا عَلَی رُؤُوسِهِمُ الطَّيْرُ فَإِذَا سَکَتَ تَکَلَّمُوا لا يَتَنَازَعُونَ عِنْدَهُ الْحَدِيثَ وَمَنْ تَکَلَّمَ عِنْدَهُ أَنْصَتُوا لَهُ حَتَّی يَفْرُغَ حَدِيثُهُمْ عِنْدَهُ حَدِيثُ أَوَّلِهِمْ يَضْحَکُ مِمَّا يَضْحَکُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَتَعَجَّبُ مِمَّا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَصْبِرُ لِلْغَرِيبِ عَلَی الْجَفْوَةِ فِي مَنْطِقِهِ وَمَسْأَلَتِهِ حَتَّی إِنْ کَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَيَقُولُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ طَالِبَ حَاجَةٍ يِطْلُبُهَا فَأَرْفِدُوهُ وَلا يَقْبَلُ الثَّنَائَ إِلا مِنْ مُکَافِئٍ وَلا يَقْطَعُ عَلَی أَحَدٍ حَدِيثَهُ حَتَّی يَجُوزَ فَيَقْطَعُهُ بِنَهْيٍ أَوْ قِيَامٍ

Imaam Hasan Radiyallahu 'Anhu says, (my younger brother) Husayn said: "I asked my father (Sayyidina 'Ali Radiyallahu 'Anhu) about the conduct of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam in his assemblies' He replied.. 'Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was always happy and easy mannered. There was always a smile and a sign of happiness on his blessed face. He was soft-natured and when the people needed his approval, he easily gave consent. He did not speak in a harsh tone nor was he stone-hearted. He did not scream while speaking, nor was he rude or spoke indecently. He did not seek other's faults. He never overpraised anything nor exceeded in joking, nor was he a miser. He kept away from undesirable language and did not make as if he did not hear anything. If he did not agree with the next person's wish he did not make that person feel disheartened, nor did he promise anything to that person. He completely kept himself away from three things: from arguments, pride and senseless utterances. He prohibited people from three things. He did not disgrace or insult anyone, nor look for the faults of others, he only spoke that from which thawaab and reward was attained. When he spoke, those present bowed their heads in such a manner, as if birds were sitting on their heads. (They did not shift about, as birds will fly away on the slightest move). When he completed his talks, the others would begin speaking. (No one would speak while Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu'Alayhi Wasallam spoke. Whatever one wanted to say, it would be said after he had completed speaking). They did not argue before him regarding anything. Whenever one spoke to him the other would keep quiet and listen till he would finish. The speech of every person was as if the first person was speaking. (They gave attention to what every person said. It was not as is generally found that in the beginning people pay full attention, and if the talk is lengthened they became bored, and begin to pay less attention). When all laughed for something, he would laugh too. The things that surprised the people, he would also show his surprise regarding that. (He would not sit quietly and keep himself aloof from everyone, but made himself part of the gathering). He exercised patience at the harshness and indecent questions of a traveller. (Villagers usually ask irrelevant questions. They do not show courtesy and ask all types of questions. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam did not reprimand them but exercised patience). The Sahaabah would bring travellers to his assemblies (so that they thernselves could benefit from the various types of questions asked by these people, and also hear some questions regarding which they themselves, due to etiquette, would not ask). Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam' would say: 'When you see a person in need, then always 'help that person'. (If someone praised him, he would detest it). If someone, by way of thanks praised him, he would remain silent, (because it is necessary that one 'thank a person for a good favour or good deed. It is like one fulfilling one's duty. Some of the 'ulama have translated this as: 'If one did not exceed in praising him, he would keep silent'. That means if he exceeded he would prohibit him). He did not interrupt someone talking and did not begin speaking when someone else was busy speaking. If one exceeded the limits he would stop him or would get up and leave (so that that person would stop)".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْکَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ مَا سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَقَالَ لا

Jaabir Radiyallahu 'Anhu says. "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam never said 'No' to a request of a person".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْمَکِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ بِالْخَيْرِ وَکَانَ أَجْوَدَ مَا يَکُونُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّی يَنْسَلِخَ فَيَأْتِيهِ جِبْرِيلُ فَيَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ فَإِذَا لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم أَجْوَدَ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ

Ibn 'Abbaas Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was the most generous among people in performing good deeds (No one could compare with him in generosity. He himself led a simple life, but in giving he would put a king to shame.At a time of great need a woman presented him a sheet, and he wore it as he was in need of it.A person came to him, and asked him for it, he presented the sheet to that person. Taking of loans and fulfilling the needs of.others, when the creditors came, and if something had come from somewhere, he would pay the debts, and did not go home till everything was given to the needy. There exists many incidents of this nature, so much so that it is not possible to enumerate them). Particularly in the month of Ramadaan, he would be more generous till the month ended. (His generosity in this month exceeded all the other months). In this month when Jibra-eel 'Alayhis Salaam came and recited the Qur-aan to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam, at that time his generosity exceeded the wind that brings forth heavy rains".

Anas Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "Rasulullah. Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam did not store anything for the next day".

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ الْمَدِينِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ رَجُلا جَائَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صلی الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلی الله عليه وسلم مَا عِنْدِي شَيْئٌ وَلَکِنِ ابْتَعْ عَلَيَّ فَإِذَا جَائَنِي شَيْئٌ قَضَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ فَمَّا کَلَّفَکَ اللَّهُ مَا لا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ فَکَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صلی الله عليه وسلم قَوْلَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْفِقْ وَلا تَخَفْ مِنْ ذِي الْعَرْشِ إِقْلالا فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم وَعُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْبِشْرَ لِقَوْلِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ

'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports that once a needy person came to ask Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam for his need. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam replied: "I do not have anything at present. Go and purchase something on my behalf. When something arrives I will pay for it". 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu said: "O Messenger of Allah, whatever you possessed you have already given away. Allah Ta'aala did not make you responsible for that which is not in your means". Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam felt annoyed at this saying of 'Umar Radiyallahu'Anhu. Thereupon a person from among, the Ansaar said: "O Rasul, of Allah, spend whatever you wish, and do not fear any lessening from the Lord of the 'Arsh (Throne)". (That Great Deity that is the Lord of the'Arsh, nothing will decrease in His Bounties by giving you). Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam smiled and the happiness could be seen on his mubaarak face due to the saying of the Ansaari. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam than said: "Allah Ta'aala has commanded me to do this".

عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، ← أَبِيهِ ← زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ← هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ← أَبِي ← هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ الْمَدِينِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَائَ قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلی الله عليه وسلم بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ وَأَجْرٍ زُغْبٍ فَأَعْطَانِي مِلْئَ کَفِّهِ حُلِيًّا وَذَهَبًا

Rubayyi' bint Mu'awwidh bin 'Af-raa Radiyallahu 'Anha says: "I brought to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam a tray full of dates, and some small cucumbers. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam gave me a handful of jewellery".

الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَائَ ← عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ← شَرِيكٌ، ← عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلی الله عليه وسلم کَانَ يَقْبَلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَيُثِيبُ عَلَيْهَا

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam accepted gifts, and also gave presents in return.

عَائِشَةَ ← أَبِيهِ ← هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ← عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ← عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلی الله عليه وسلم أَشدَّ حَيَائً مِنَ الْعَذرَائِ فِي خِدْرِهَا وَکَانَ إِذَا کَرِهَ شَيْئًا عَرَفْنَاهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ

Abu Sa'eed Khudari Radiyallahu 'Anhu says that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was more bashful than a virgin girl in her veil (purdah). When Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam did not like something, it could be seen on his face. (Because of his excessive Modesty he did not mention it).
