How is our manner in real life?
So many Muslims claim to be practicing and following the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) these days. How much do we actually follow the Prophet (ﷺ) in our daily life? We need to think about it and work on it In Shaa Allah.
Narrated Anas (RadhiAllaahu anhu): I served the Prophet (ﷺ) for ten years, and he never said to me, “Uf” (a minor harsh word denoting impatience) and never blamed me by saying, “Why did you do so or why didn’t you do so?” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #64)
Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllaahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet, and Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (or insult) his neighbor; and Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should entertain his guest generously.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #76, Hadith #482)

We were sitting with ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr who was narrating to us (Hadith): He said, “Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) was neither a Fahish nor a Mutafahhish, and he used to say, ‘The best among you are the best in character (having good manners).”‘ (Sahih Bukhari, Volume # 8, Book #73, Hadith #61)
Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllaahu anhu): Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra’ bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him.

Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllaahu anhu): I heard Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, it’s one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #29)
Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllaahu anhu): Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) said, “While a man was walking on a road. he became very thirsty. Then he came across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself “This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as I did.” So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?” He said, “(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being) .” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #38)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Sadaqa (alms).” They (the people) said, “If one has nothing?’ He said, “He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity.” They said, “If he cannot work or does not work?” He said, “Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both).” They said, “If he does not do it?” He said, “Then he should enjoin what is good (or said what is reasonable).’ They said, “If he does not do that”’ He said, “Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as a Sadaqa (charity). ” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #51)
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the (Hell) Fire and sought refuge (with Allah) from it, and turned his face to the other side. He mentioned the (Hell) Fire again and took refuge (with Allah) from it and turned his face to the other side. (Shu’ba, the sub-narrator, said, “I have no doubt that the Prophet repeated it twice.”) The Prophet then said, “(O people!) Save yourselves from the (Hell) Fire even if with one half of a date fruit (given in charity), and if this is not available, then (save yourselves) by saying a good pleasant friendly word.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #52)
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other.” The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced. (At that time) the Prophet was sitting and a man came and begged or asked for something. The Prophet faced us and said, “Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it, and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet’s tongue.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #55)
Narrated Abu Musa:
Whenever a beggar or a person in need came to the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet would say “Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it, and Allah will bring about what he will through His Prophet’s tongue. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #56)
Narrated ‘Aisha:
A man asked permission to enter upon the Prophet (ﷺ). When the Prophet saw him, he said, “What an evil brother of his tribe! And what an evil son of his tribe!” When that man sat down, the Prophet behaved with him in a nice and polite manner and was completely at ease with him. When that person had left, ‘Aisha said (to the Prophet). “O Allah’s Apostle! When you saw that man, you said so-and-so about him, then you showed him a kind and polite behavior, and you enjoyed his company?” Allah’s Apostle said, “O ‘Aisha! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people leave (undisturbed) to be away from their evil (deeds).” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #59)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The worst people in the Sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the double faced people who appear to some people with one face and to other people with another face.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume #8, Book #73, Hadith #84)
