Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Provoking Shaytan


Mutarrif (RA) reported that his father said, "I went in the delegation of the Banu 'Amir (RA) to the Prophet (peace be upon him). They said, 'You are our master.' He said, 'The Master is Allah.' They said, 'The best of us in excellence and the greatest of us in generosity.' He said, 'Say what you like, but do not let Shaytan provoke you.'"

(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Book 9, Hadith 56)

Honouring or respecting someone does not mean elevating their status, since Allah swt is the Most High, Most Merciful. He alone deserves our praise and when we elevate another to His state, it is Shaytan.

Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Disputes

A reminder of honouring others – be it their family, character or property, it is not allowed to take from anyone unjustly. Reflect before you act, and you’ll insha’Allah make the path to Jannah easier for yourself. Narrated Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Al-Harith (RA): from Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman (RA) who had a dispute with some people on a piece of land, and so he went to `Aisha and told her about it. She said, "O Abu Salama, avoid the land, for Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, 'Any person who takes even a span of land unjustly, his neck shall be encircled with it down seven earths.'
