Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiRighteousness
Hadrat Wabisa bin Ma’bad (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying,
“Have you come to ask about righteousness and sin, Wabisa?”
When he replied that he had, he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) joined his fingers and striking his breast with them said, Ask yourself for a decision, ask your heart for a decision (saying it three times). Righteousness is that with which the soul is tranquil and the heart is tranquil, but sin is that which arouses suspicion in the soul and is perplexing in the breast, even if people give you decision in its favour.” [Ahmad, Darimi, Mishkat]
Hadrat Abu Zarr (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face.” [Muslim]
