Ahlus Sunnah Command with Noble Manners and Forbid Lowly Manners – Al-Allāmah ‘Ubayd Al-Jābirī
Al-Allāmah ‘Ubayd Al-Jābirī (rahimahullāh) in his explanation of Al-Aqīdatu Al-Wāsatiyyah said,
“Ahlus Sunnah command with noble manners and forbid lowly manners.”
What are examples of noble manners?
“Noble lofty manners such as truthfulness, justice and humility.”
What are examples of reprehensible manners?
“Reprehensible blameworthy manners such as lying, cursing, reviling, defamation and false accusations.”
Al-Allāmah ‘Ubayd Al-Jābirī (rahimahullāh) then quoted these two hadith:
Reported by Anas (Allah be pleased with him) that he said, The Prophet (ﷺ) was not one who would abuse (others) or say obscene words, or curse (others), and if he wanted to admonish one of us, he used to say: “What is wrong with him, his forehead be dusted!” (1)
On the authority of Ā’isha that, “The Prophet was not indecent, nor obscene, nor would he shout in the markets. He would not repay an evil deed with an evil deed, rather he would pardon and overlook.” (2)
