From Al-Harmaas ibn Habeeb, who narrarated from his father, who narrarated from his grandfather, that he heard ‘Aaishah (radhiyallahu ‘anhaa) saying:
“The best manners are ten:
- Truthful speech
- Sincerity and courage in obedience to Allah
- Giving the one who asks
- Recompensing the worker [employee]
- Keeping the ties of kinship
- Giving back [being trustworthy] with that which you are entrusted upon
- Honesty and good treatment of the neighbor
- Honesty and good treatment of the spouse
- Honouring the guests
and the top of all, the [best manners] is
- hayaa [shyness & modesty].”
