Yahya related to me from Malik that Muadh ibn Jabal
said, "The last advice the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, gave me when I put my foot
in the stirrup was that he said, 'Make your character good
for the people, Muadh ibn Jabal!' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, did not have to choose between two matters, but
that he chose the easier of them as long as it was not a
wrong action. If it was a wrong action, he was the
furthest of people from it. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not take revenge
for himself unless the limits of Allah were violated. Then
he took revenge for it for Allah."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ali

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and

to see the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace. I was with him in the house and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'He is an evil member of his tribe.' Then the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, gave him permission."
A'isha continued, "It was not long before I heard the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, laughing with him. When the man left, I said,
'Messenger of Allah, you said what you said about him, and
then before long you were laughing with him.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, replied, 'Among the most evil of people is the one
whom people are cautious with because of his evil.' "

then look at whatever good praise follows him."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said
said, "I have heard that by his good character a man can
reach the degree of the one who stands in prayer at night
and the one who is thirsty from fasting in the heat of the
day."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said

it strips you (of your deen)."

bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Every deen has an
innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Salim ibn Abdullah from Abdullah ibn Umar that the

ar-Rahman ibn Awf that a man came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said,

by. Do not make them too much for me, lest I forget." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Do not be angry."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Said ibn al-Musayyab from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

adversaries to the ground. A strong person is the person
who contains himself when he is angry."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata
ibn Yazid al-Laythi from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him

brother for more than three nights, that is they meet, and
this one turns away and that one turns away. The better of
the two is the one who says the greeting first."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not be angry with

three nights."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may

do not envy each other and do not hate each other and do
not shun each other. Be slaves of Allah, brothers."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ata ibn Abi Muslim

Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"The doors of the Garden are opened on Monday and
Thursday. Every muslim slave who does not associate
anything with Allah is forgiven except for the man who has
enmity between him and his brother. It is said, 'Leave
these two until they have made a reconciliation. Leave
these two until they have made a reconciliation.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi
Maryam from Abu Salih as-Samman that Abu Hurayra said,

except for a slave who has enmity between him and his
brother. It is said, 'Leave these two until they turn in
tawba. Leave these two until they turn in tawba.' ''
