IMITATING GOOD MANNERS

346

“Anas went on a journey with Jarir the son of Abdullah Bujali. Jarir served Anas even though he was older than himself. Anas said to him, ‘Don't do this.’ He replied, ‘I saw the Ansar serve the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, with such devotion that I made a vow that whenever I am in the company of any of them I would serve them.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas the son of Malik who related this.

Allah, the Exalted says:

“You shall not attain righteousness

until you spend of what you love......” 3:92 Koran

“Believers,

spend of the good you have earned

and of that which We have brought out

of the earth for you.

And do not intend the bad of it for your spending;

while you would never take it yourselves,

except you closed an eye on it......” 2:267 Koran
