Hadith 2224
- " إن مثل المؤمن كمثل القطعة من الذهب، نفخ فيها صاحبها فلم تغير ولم تنقص، والذي نفسي بيده، إن مثل المؤمن كمثل النحلة أكلت طيبا ووضعت طيبا ووقعت فلم تكسر ولم تفسد ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty hates evil words and deeds, and foul and obscene speech. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! The Hour will be established when the trustworthy betrays, the traitor is considered trustworthy, and evils such as foul speech, obscenity, severing of ties, and mistreatment of neighbors become widespread. Indeed, the example of a believer is like that of a (pure) piece of gold: its owner blows on it (in the bellows), but it neither changes nor diminishes. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! The example of a believer is like that of a honeybee: it eats what is pure, produces what is pure, and when it sits on (a flower, petal, or leaf), it neither breaks it nor spoils it."
