Hadith 286
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَجَلَّ إِذَا جَلَسَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ، وَلاَ أَفْكَهَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، مِنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ.
Thabit bin Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I have not seen anyone more dignified in the company of friends and more humorous at home than Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
Understanding of the religion is that a person should not be overly informal with friends, but rather maintain dignity and seriousness, so that no one behaves frivolously with him and the person does not fall into sin. With family members, however, one should display good conduct and live among them with warmth and affection. But in our society, the opposite happens: people tolerate even the insults of friends, yet cannot tolerate even the jokes of family members.
