RESPECT FOR ONE'S ELDERS

354

“In a vision two men came to me when I was brushing my teeth with miswak, one of them was older than the other. I gave the miswak to the younger of the two, then I was told to give it to the elder, so in accordance I did so.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
