«باب من مكارم الأخلاق أن يكون الرجل فى مهنة أهله»
Helping one’s family members with their work is also good character.
❀ «عن الاسود، قال: سالت عائشة، ما كان النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع فى اهله؟ قالت: كان فى مهنة اهله، فإذا حضرت الصلاة قام إلى الصلاة.»
It is narrated from Aswad that he asked Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: What did the Prophet ﷺ use to do in his house? She, may Allah be pleased with her, said: He used to help his family with their work. When the time for prayer came, he would go out for the prayer.
❀ «عن عروة قال قيل لعائشة ما كان النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع فى بيته قالت كما يصنع احدكم يخصف نعله ويرقع ثوبه .»
It is narrated from Urwah, may Allah be pleased with him, that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked: What were the Prophet ﷺ’s activities at home? She said: Just as one of you mends his torn shoes and clothes, the Prophet ﷺ too would take care of his own tasks.
