So by mercy from Allah , you
were lenient with them
And if you had been rude [in
speech] and harsh in heart,
they would have disbanded
from about you
So pardon them
and ask forgiveness for them
and consult them in the
matter
And when you have decided,
then rely upon Allah
Indeed, Allah loves those
who rely [upon Him].

Islamic Life Skills Training
The Messenger of Allah (saw) as a Speaker
Imaam Hasan (ra) says, (my younger brother) Husayn (ra) said: "I asked my father
(Sayyidina 'Ali ra) about the conduct of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in his assemblies'
He replied.. the Messenger of Allah (saw) was always happy and easy mannered. There
was always a smile and a sign of happiness on his blessed face. He was soft-natured
and when the people needed his approval, he easily gave consent. He did not speak in
a harsh tone nor was he stone-hearted. He did not scream while speaking, nor was he
rude or spoke indecently. He did not seek other's faults. He never overpraised
anything nor exceeded in joking, nor was he a miser. He kept away from undesirable
language and did not make as if he did not hear anything. If he did not agree with the
next person's wish he did not make that person feel disheartened, nor did he promise
anything to that person. He completely kept himself away from three things: from
arguments, pride and senseless utterances. He prohibited people from three things.
He did not disgrace or insult anyone, nor look for the faults of others, he only spoke
that from which reward was attained
(Shamaa’il Tirmidhi)

'Amr ibn al-'Aas Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports: "(Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi
Wasallam) gave attention, spoke and showed love to the worst person of a
nation. So that, the person may feel he is being given special attention. He
used to give attention, and spoke to me also in a manner, that I began to feel
that I was the best among the community.
(Therefore one day) I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, am I better or is Abubakr
better?' He replied: 'Abubakr'. I then asked: 'Am I better, or 'Umar?' He replied.
"Umar'. I asked: 'Am I better or 'Uthmaan?' He replied: 'Uthmaan'.When I
asked him these questions, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam told me the
truth. (He did not tell me I was better to keep me happy. Afterwards I felt
ashamed of myself on this deed). I felt I should not have asked such a
question". [Shamaa’il Tirmidhi]

Abu Hurairah (ra) also reported that the Prophet (saw) said, “Indeed a
servant may say a word from which Allah’s pleasure is gained and the servant
does not realise it, Allah will raise him up levels. Indeed a servant may say a

Imaam Husayn (ra) says: 'I asked (my father) regarding the coming out of the
Messenger of Allah (saw)’. He replied: The Messenger of Allah (saw) controlled his
tongue and only spoke that which was necessary. He did not waste his time in useless
conversations. He made those who came to visit him feel at home he did not make
them feel scared or ill at ease.
(i.e. When advising them, he did not scold them in a manner that they become
scared, or tell them such things that would keep them away from the deen).
He respected and honoured the respected ones of every nation. He also chose a
leader for them. He warned the people of Allah's punishment (or he emphasised that
the people be cautious). He also protected himself from troubling or harming people.
Besides being cautious and commanding others to be cautious, he never lacked in
courtesy towards others. He was concerned for the affairs of his friends, made
himself aware about the relationships between them and rectified their faults. He
praised good deeds and encouraged them. He explained the harmful effects of bad
things and removed and stopped these.

There was always a smile and a sign of happiness on his blessed face. He was soft-natured and when the people needed his approval, he easily gave consent. He did not speak in a harsh tone nor was he stone-hearted. He did not scream while speaking, nor was he rude or spoke indecently. He did not seek other's faults. He never overpraised anything nor exceeded in joking, nor was he a miser. He kept away from undesirable language and did not make as if he did not hear anything. If he did not agree with the next person's wish he did not make that person feel disheartened, nor did he promise anything to that person. He completely kept himself away from three things: from arguments, pride and senseless utterances. He prohibited people from three things. He did not disgrace or insult anyone, nor look for the faults of others, he only spoke that from which reward was attained (Shamaa’il Tirmidhi)

So that, the person may feel he is being given special attention. He used to give attention, and spoke to me also in a manner, that I began to feel that I was the best among the community. (Therefore one day) I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, am I better or is Abubakr better?' He replied: 'Abubakr'. I then asked: 'Am I better, or 'Umar?' He replied. "Umar'. I asked: 'Am I better or 'Uthmaan?' He replied: 'Uthmaan'.When I asked him these questions, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam told me the truth. (He did not tell me I was better to keep me happy. Afterwards I felt ashamed of myself on this deed). I felt I should not have asked such a question". [Shamaa’il Tirmidhi]

  • 46. ‫المقصود‬ Al-Maqsûd Islamic Life Skills Training Imaam Husayn (ra) says: 'I asked (my father) regarding the coming out of the Messenger of Allah (saw)’. He replied: The Messenger of Allah (saw) controlled his tongue and only spoke that which was necessary. He did not waste his time in useless conversations. He made those who came to visit him feel at home he did not make them feel scared or ill at ease. (i.e. When advising them, he did not scold them in a manner that they become scared, or tell them such things that would keep them away from the deen). He respected and honoured the respected ones of every nation. He also chose a leader for them. He warned the people of Allah's punishment (or he emphasised that the people be cautious). He also protected himself from troubling or harming people. Besides being cautious and commanding others to be cautious, he never lacked in courtesy towards others. He was concerned for the affairs of his friends, made himself aware about the relationships between them and rectified their faults. He praised good deeds and encouraged them. He explained the harmful effects of bad things and removed and stopped these.
