Foreword

Three things are part of the good morals of a believer. When he is overcome by anger, his anger should not drive him to falsehood. When he is happy, his happiness should not take him beyond the bounds of what is right. When he has power, he should not stake a claim to something which is not his. HADITH OF AT-TABARANI ON THE AUTHORITY OF ANAS IBN MALIK. 145 The way to atone for slander is to pray for the forgiveness of the person whom you have slandered. Say, ‘O God, forgive me as well as him.’ HADITH OF AL-JAMI’ AS-SAGHIR ON THE AUTHORITY OF ANAS IBN MALIK.
