Manners in Speech

There is virtue in refusing to retaliate Certain individuals, who held Abu Bakra to be in the wrong abut something, set upon him and flung him to the ground. His son, Abdul Aziz came running, but Abu Bakr told him to hold off, swearing an oath in the name of God, that if any soul were to be taken away from this world, it had best be his own. When his son asked him why, he replied: “Because I fear that I shall live to see a time when I am unable to command good and forbid evil. When that day comes, there will be no-good in the world.” (AL-TABARANI)
