اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبَكُمْ مِنِّي فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَسَاوِيكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا الثَّرْثَارُونَ الْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ الْمُتَشَدِّقُونَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Tha’labah Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most beloved of you to me and the closest to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those among you who have the best character, and the most disliked of you to me and the farthest from me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who have bad character, are talkative without purpose, are arrogant, and twist their mouths while speaking.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In this hadith, encouragement towards good character is given, and there is an emphasis on avoiding unnecessary, careless, and artificial or pretentious speech, as well as refraining from using such speech to impose awe or superiority over others. In other words, speaking less and conversing with simplicity is preferred, whereas, on the contrary, speaking excessively—especially with sharpness, haste, and affectation in order to assert dominance over others—is highly disliked.
