الْحَيَاءُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ. فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ وَقَارًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ سَكِينَةً. فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ: أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صَحِيفَتِكَ
Narrated Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi: 'Imran bin Husain said, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Haya' (pious shyness) does not bring anything except good."

'Imran said to him, "I am narrating to you the saying of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and you are speaking about your paper (wisdom book)?"
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "Do you know what is backbiting?" They (the Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best.

It was said to him: What is your opinion if I actually find (that failing) in my brother which I made mention of?

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief, and you will not believe as long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you: give currency to the practice of paying salutation to one another by saying As-salamu Alaikum."
Narrated 'Aishah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The best of you is the best to his wives, and I am the best of you to my wives, and when your companion dies, leave him alone."

Narrated Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'It is not lawful for a Muslim to cut off relations with his brother for more than three days; they meet and this one turns away and that one turns away. The better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting of salam.'

On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will complete the full one hundred parts of mercy toward His servants.'
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'While a man was walking he felt very thirsty and went down a well and drank from it.
