Mu‟adh ibn Jabal said: “The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, commanded me saying: „O Mu‟adh, I command you to fear Allah, to
report truthfully, to fulfill the oath, to act loyally, to avoid perfidious actions, to
care for the neighbor, to have mercy on the orphan, to be soft spoken, to be
liberal of extending greeting, to perform fine acts, to limit expectation, to cleave to
the faith, to study the Koran, to love the other life, to be anxious in regard to the
Reckoning, to act humbly; I forbid you to abuse the learned, to accuse an honest
man of lying, to obey the sinner, to disobey a just man, to put a land in disorder;
and I command you to fear Allah at every stone, tree or village, and that you
show repentance for every sin, secret or public‟.”
Thus the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, disciplined the wroshipers of
Allah and urged them to be well mannered and to possess the noble qualities of
character.
