Courtesy

• Humility and courtesy are acts of piety.

•  Verily, a man teaching his child manners is better for him than giving one bushel of grain in alms.

•  It is not right for a guest to stay so long as to incommode his host.

•  "O Apostle og God! Inform, Inform me, if I stop with a man, and he doth not entertain me, and he afterwards stoppeth at my house, am I to entertain him or to act with him as he with did me?" Muhammad said, "Entertain him."

•  Respect people according to their eminence.

•  Being confined for room, the Apostle of god sat down upon his legs drawn up under his thighs. A desert Arab who was present said, "What is this way of sitting?" Muhammad said, "Verily God hath made me a humble servant, and not a proud king."

•  Abuse nobody, and if a man abuse thee, and lay upon a vice which he knoweth in thee; then do not disclose one which thou knowest in him.

•  When victuals are placed before you no man must stand up till it be taken away; nor must one man leave off eating before the rest; and if he doeth he must make an apology.

•  It is of my ways that a man shall come out with his guest to the door of his house.

•  Meekness and modesty are two branches of Iman (Faith); and vain talking and embellishing are two brances of hypocrisy.

•  When three persons are together, two of them must not whisper to each other without letting the third hear, until others are present, because it would hurt him
