تَحْيَا الْمُجْتَمَعَاتُ كُلُّهَا بِالْآدَابِ، وَالْأَخْلَاقِ، فَهِيَ عِمَادُ بَقَائِهَا، وَسَبَبُ نَجَاحِ الْعَلَاقَاتِ بَيْنَ أَفْرَادِهَا.

Societies thrive on etiquette and morality; they are the pillars of their survival and the foundation for successful relationships among their members.

وَتُشَكِّلُ مَنْهَجَ حَيَاةٍ مُتَكَامِلًا يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ زَمَانٍ وَمَكَانٍ.

These values form a comprehensive way of life suitable for any time or place.

وَهَذِهِ الْآدَابُ ضَرُورِيَّةٌ لِلْأَفْرَادِ وَالْجَمَاعَاتِ.

Such manners are essential for both individuals and communities.

بِهَا تَنْتَشِرُ الْمَحَبَّةُ، وَتَعُمُّ الْفَضِيلَةُ، وَيَكُونُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ فِي مَنْأًى مِنَ الْفِتَنِ وَالشُّرُورِ.

Through them, love spreads, virtue prevails, and society is shielded from strife and corruption.

وَالْأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا تَتَنَاوَلُ بَعْضًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآدَابِ، فَتَدْعُو إِلَيْهَا، وَتُحَذِّرُ مِنْ بَعْضِ السُّلُوكَاتِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيَّةِ غَيْرِ السَّوِيَّةِ.

The following hadiths address some of these manners, encouraging them while warning against improper social behavior.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي.

Allah the Almighty will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'O son of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.'

يَا رَبِّ، كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟! قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ؟

The person will ask: 'O Lord, how can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will reply: 'Did you not know that My servant so-and-so was ill, and you did not visit him?'

أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ؟

Did you not know that had you visited him, you would have found Me with him?

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي.

O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you did not feed Me.

يَا رَبِّ، كَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟! قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمَكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟

The person will ask: 'O Lord, how can I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will reply: 'Did you not know that My servant so-and-so asked you for food and you did not feed him?'

أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟

Did you not know that had you fed him, you would have found that reward with Me?

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي.

O son of Adam, I asked you for water and you did not give Me any.

يَا رَبِّ، كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: اسْتَسْقَاكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ، أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي.

The person will ask: 'O Lord, how can I give You water when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will reply: 'My servant so-and-so asked you for water and you did not give him any. Had you given him water, you would have found that reward with Me.'

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيْءٌ أَبَرُّهُمَا بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا؟

We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when a man from Banu Salama came and asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, is there any act of kindness left that I can show my parents after they have died?'

قَالَ: نَعَمْ، الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا، وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمَا، وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لَا تُوصَلُ إِلَّا بِهِمَا، وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا.

He replied: 'Yes, pray for them, seek forgiveness for them, fulfill their commitments, maintain the ties of kinship that depend on them, and honor their friends.'
