(رواه البخاري ومسلم)

(241/1) It is related by Abdullah Ibn Amr (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: “The best of you are those who possess the best of manners” (Bukhari and Muslim)

عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم اكمل المؤمنين ا يمانا احسنهم خلقا (رواه ا بو داود)

(242/2) Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) related to us that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Believers who possess better manners are the most perfect in Faith”

Commentary:

There is a define relationship between belief and manners. He who has a perfect belief definitely has very good manners. On the same basis, he who possesses very good manners is a perfect believer. It must be understood that without belief, a person’s manner—nay, any deed he performs—are meaningless. Belief is the spirit and the driving force for every deed and every piety. Thus, if we see anyone who has good manners but morally an image of manners and they have no value in the sight of Allah.
