Good Manners

Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Ka'bi (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, Whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously. The guest's
reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a
day and a guest is to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever
is offered beyond that, is regarded as something given in charity. And it
is not lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long period so
as to put him in a critical position."

'Did you commit such-and-such sin?' He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will

make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them (your
sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you."'

The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him or humiliate him or look down upon him. Taqwa(mindfulness of Allah) is here!” and he pointed to his chest three times. “It is sufficient evil for a person to look down upon his brother Muslim. All of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his honor.”
