Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiSuspicion
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the most lying form of talk. Do not be inquisitive about one another, or spy on one another, do not bid against one another to raise the price: do not envy one another; do not hate one another; and do not speak evil of one another behind your backs: but be servants of ALLAH and brethren”. A version had “Do not quarrel with one another”. [Bukhari, Muslim]
Hadrat Abu Aliyah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: We have been enjoined and directed to keep our valuables duly locked to secure them from our servants: if some thing is given to them for use, we should do so after due measurement and counting. (The intention is that their habits may not be spoiled and there may not be any room for distrust). [Bukhari]
