Translation<br />

<strong>Hadith</strong> 27<br />

From An-Nawwas bn Sam’ān (may Allah be pleased with him) relating<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) who said:<br />

Righteousness is good character and sin is that which you will hate<br />

people to get to know about’’ Muslim related this.<br />

Also on <strong>the</strong> authority <strong>of</strong> Wābisah bn Ma‘bad (may Allah be pleased with<br />

him) who said: I came to <strong>the</strong> messenger <strong>of</strong> Allah (may Allah bless him<br />

and give him peace). Then he (<strong>the</strong> Prophet) said “have you come to ask<br />

about righteousness?” I said ‘yes’ He said: “seek <strong>the</strong> answer from your<br />

own heart. Righteousness is that about which <strong>the</strong> mind feels tranquility<br />

and heart feels contentment. And sin is that which confuses <strong>the</strong> mind<br />

and pulsates <strong>the</strong> breast even <strong>the</strong> people judge in favour <strong>of</strong> you and <strong>the</strong>y<br />

judge you’’.<br />

A good hadith which we have narrated according to <strong>the</strong> two Musnads:<br />

that <strong>of</strong> Ahmad b. Hanbal and that <strong>of</strong> Ad-Dārimi with good isnads.<br />

Commentary<br />

This tradition differentiates between righteousness and sin. The prophet<br />

reaffirms here that good deeds give peace to <strong>the</strong> heart and comfort to <strong>the</strong><br />

soul. When a man does it, he gets praises from men and reward from<br />

Allah.<br />

A good Muslim is <strong>the</strong> one who does well to all people without expecting<br />

reward in return. Society judges him by <strong>the</strong> act he performs from time to<br />

time ei<strong>the</strong>r good or bad.<br />
