It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“These lineages of yours are not a cause of reproach or disgrace for anyone, because you are all the children of Adam, and you are less than a full measure (i.e., none of you is perfect and everyone has some deficiency). And no one has any superiority or excellence over another except on the basis of religion and righteous deeds. It is sufficient for a man (to be considered bad) that he is foul-mouthed, ill-spoken, ill-mannered, miserly, and cowardly.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Bedouin came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke in a very clear manner. (In the narration of Musnad Ahmad, it is mentioned that he began to praise the Prophet, peace be upon him.) The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Some eloquent speech has the effect of magic, and some poetry is filled with wisdom and insight."

Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some poetry contains wisdom and insight."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke in a very clear manner (in the narration of Musnad Ahmad, it is mentioned that he began to praise the Prophet, peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some eloquent speech has the effect of magic, and some poetry is filled with wisdom and insight."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Poetry is like ordinary (prose) speech, that is, good poetry is like good speech and bad poetry is like bad speech."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person's stomach were to be filled with pus until it destroys it, that would be better for him than having his stomach filled with poetry." This hadith is narrated from several Companions, such as Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them), among others.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a Jew came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and (instead of saying "As-Salamu Alaikum") said: O Muhammad! «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيْكُم» (meaning: death and destruction be upon you). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:“ «وعليك» (And upon you as well).”Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I wanted to say something, but I knew that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would dislike it, so I remained silent. Another Jew came and said: «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيْكُم» (Death and destruction be upon you). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“ «وعليك» (And upon you as well).”This time too, I wanted to say something, but due to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliking it, I remained silent. Then a third Jew came and said: «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيْكُم» . I could not remain patient and I spoke up: O apes and swine! Destruction be upon you, may Allah’s wrath and curse be upon you. Do you wish to adopt the manner in which Allah did not send peace upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“(Aisha!) Allah does not like foul language and obscenity. They ( «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيْكُم» ) said, and we too (avoiding foul language, simply by saying «وعليك» ) replied. In fact, the Jews are a jealous people and they do not envy us for any trait as much as they envy us for Salam and Ameen.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the time of death of Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) approached, his wife, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: "To whom are you leaving me entrusted?" He said: "O Allah! Indeed, You are better for Umm Salamah than I am." When he passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal of marriage to Umm Salamah. She replied: "I am advanced in age." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am older than you. Your children are entrusted to Allah and His Messenger. As for the issue of jealousy and displeasure (and becoming angry), I hope that Allah, the Exalted, will remove it." Eventually, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her and sent to her two millstones and a water skin.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for the one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right (and relinquishes his right), and I guarantee a house in the middle of Paradise for the one who does not lie even as a joke, and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Paradise for the one whose character is good."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Sakhr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "We have been forbidden that our private parts be seen."
