Riyad as-Saliheen, Book of Good Manners

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man of the Ansar who was admonishing his brother regarding shyness. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of Iman."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله ﷺ مر على رجل من الأنصار وهو يعظ أخاه في الحياء، فقال رسول الله ﷺ:
"دعه فإن الحياء من الإيمان" ((متفق عليه)) .

'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shyness does not bring anything except good."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In a narration of Muslim: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All of shyness is good."

وعن عمران بن حصين، رضي الله عنهما، قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: “ الحياء لا يأتى إلا بخير” ((متفق عليه)) .
وفي رواية لمسلم”
"الحياءه خير كله”أوقال: “الحياء كله خير".

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Iman has sixty odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And shyness is a branch of Iman."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

-وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: “الإيمان بضع وسبعون، أو بضع وستون شعبة، فأفضلها قول لا إله إلا الله، وأدناها إماطة الأذى عن الطريق، والحياء شعبة من الإيمان” ((متفق عليه)) .

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ was even shier than a virgin behind her veil. When he saw something which he disliked, we could perceive it on his face.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه، قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ أشد حياء من العذراء في خدرها، فإذا رأى شيئياً يكرهه عرفناه في وجهه. ((متفق عليه)) .

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most evil of the people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who consorts with his wife and then publicizes her secret."

[Muslim].

عن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ:
"إن من شر الناس عند الله منزلة يوم القيامة الرجل يفضي إلى المرأة وتفضي إليه ثم ينشر سرها" ((رواه مسلم)).

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
My father 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said: When (his daughter) Hafsah (May Allah be pleased with her) became a widow, I met 'Uthman bin 'Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) and offered Hafsah for marriage to him. 'Uthman said: "I shall think over the matter." I waited for a few days and then 'Uthman met me and said: "It occurred to me that I should not marry at present." Then I met Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: "If you are willing, I shall marry my daughter Hafsah to you." Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) remained silent and did not utter any word to me in reply. I grew more angry with him than with 'Uthman. I had waited for only a few days when Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Thereafter, I met Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) who said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered Hafsah to me and I said nothing in reply." I said, "Yes, that is so." He said, "Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had mentioned her and I could not disclose the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ left her, I would have accepted her."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن عمر رضي الله عنه حين تأيمت بنته حفصة قال: لقيت عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه ، فعرضت عليه حفصة فقلت: إن شئت أنكحتك حفصة بنت عمر؟ قال: سأنظر في أمري. فلبثت ليالي، ثم لقيني فقال ‎: قد بدا لي أن لا أتزوج يومي هذا. فلقيت أبا بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه، فلم يرجع إلى شيئاً! فكنت عليه أوجد مني على عثمان، فلبثت ليالي، ثم خطبها النبي ﷺ، فأنكحتها إياه. فلقيني أبو بكر فقال: لعلك وجدت حين عرضت على حفصة فلم أرجع إليك شيئاً؟ فقلت: نعم. قال: فإنه لم يمنعني أن أرجع إليك فيما عرضت على إلا أني كنت علمت أن النبي ﷺ ذكرها، فلم أكن لأفشي سر رسول الله ﷺ، ولوتركها النبى ﷺ لقبلتها . ((رواه البخارى)).

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
On one occasion all the wives of the Prophet ﷺ were with him when his daughter, Fatimah (May Allah be pleased with her) who walked after the style of his father, came there. He ﷺ welcomed her saying, "Welcome, O my daughter", and made her sit on his right side, or on his left side and then whispered something to her at which she wept bitterly. When he perceived her grief, he talked secretly to her again and she smiled (with happiness). I said to her: "Messenger of Allah (ﷺ chose you from amongst all his wives to speak secretly to you and yet you cried." When he left, I asked her, "What did Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you?" She said, "I will not divulge the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to her: "I adjure you by the right I have in respect of you to tell me what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told you." She said: "Now (when Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died), I will tell you. When he whispered to me the first time, he told me, 'Jibril (Gabriel) used to listen to my recitation of the Qur'an and then recite it back to me once or twice a year, and this time he has done it twice; and so I perceive that my death is approaching. Then be mindful of your duty to Allah and be patient and steadfast, for I shall be an excellent predecessor for you.' On this I wept as you saw. When he perceived my distress he talked to me secretly the second time and said, 'O Fatimah, are you not pleased that you will be the chief among the believing women or of this Ummah?' This made me smile as you saw."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: كن أزواج النبى ﷺ عنده، فأقبلت فاطمة رضي الله عنها تمشى، ما تخطئ من مشية رسول الله ﷺ شيئاً، فلما رآها رحب بها وقال: “مرحباً بابنتى” ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم سارها فبكت بكاء شديداً، فلما رأى جزعها سارها الثانية فضحكت، فقلت لها: خصك رسول الله ﷺ من بين نسائه بالسرار، ثم أنت تبكين ! فلما قام رسول الله ﷺ سألتها: ما قال لك رسول الله ﷺ ؟ قالت: ما كنت لأفشي على رسول الله ﷺ سره. فلما توفي رسول الله ﷺ قلت: عزمت عليك بما لي عليك من الحق، لما حدثتني ما قال لك رسول الله ﷺ؟ فقالت: أما الآن فنعم، أما حين سارني في المرة الأولى فأخبرني “أن جبريل كان يعارضه القرآن في كل سنة مرة أو مرتين، وأنه عارضه الآن مرتين، وإني لا أرى الأجل إلا قد اقترب، فاتقى الله واصبرى، فغنه نعم السلف أنا لك” فبكيت بكائى الذى رأيت. فلما رأى جزعى سارنى الثانية، فقال:
"يا فاطمة أما ترضين أن تكونى سيدة نساء المؤمنين، أو سيدة نساء هذه الأمة” فضحكت ضحكى الذى رأيت". ((متفق عليه)) ((وهذا لفظ مسلم)).

Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?" I said; "Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand." She asked, "What was it?" I said, "It is a secret." My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said to Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him): By Allah, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you.

[Muslim].

وعن ثابت عن أنس، رضي الله عنه قال: أتى على رسول الله ﷺ وأنا ألعب مع الغلمان، فسلم علينا، فبعثنى في حاجةٍ، فأبطأت على أمي. فلما جئت قالت: ما حبسك؟ فقلت: بعثنى رسول الله ﷺ لحاجة، قالت: ما حاجته؟ قلت: إنها سر.قالت: لا تخبرن بسر رسول الله ﷺ أحداً. قال أنس: والله لو حدثت به أحداً لحدثتك به يا ثابت. ((رواه مسلم، وروى البخارى بعضه مختصراً)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Three are the signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays his trust."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration adds the words: "Even if he observes Saum (fasts), performs Salat (prayer) and claims to be a Muslim."

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: "آية المنافق ثلاث: إذا حدث كذب، وإذا وعد أخلف، وإذا اؤتمن خان" ((متفق عليه)) .
زاد في ((رواية لمسلم)): "وإن صام وصلى وزعم أنه مسلم".

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Four are the qualities which, when found in a person, make him a sheer hypocrite, and one who possesses one of them, possesses one characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it. These are: When he is entrusted with something, he betrays trust; when he speaks, he lies; when he promises, he acts treacherously; and when he argues, he behaves in a very imprudent, insulting manner."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما، أن رسول الله ﷺ قال:
"أربع من كن فيه كان منافقا خالصاً. ومن كانت فيه خصلة منهن كانت فيه خصلة من النفاق حتى يدعها : إذا اؤتمن خان ، وإذا حدث كذب، وإذا عاهد غدر، وإذا خاصم فجر"((متفق عليه)).
