আল-আদাবুল মুফরাদ ৩০৫

Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was the best of people, the most generous of people and most courageous
of people. One night the people of Madina were alarmed by a noise and the
people went towards its source. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, met them, having already reached the source of the noise before
them and he was saying, "Do not be alarmed. Do not be alarmed." He was
riding a horse belonging to Abu Talha without a saddle and a sword was
hung around his neck. He said, "I found it (the horse) like a great river"
or it was a great river (meaning its speed).

Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was asked, "Which is the best action?" He replied, "Belief in
Allah and jihad in His Way." He was asked, "Which slaves are best?" He
replied, "The highest in price and the most precious to their people."
He said, "What do you think I should do if I am unable to fight?" He said,
"Help someone in trouble or work for someone who does not work." He said,
"What do you think that I should do if I am too weak (to act accordingly)?"
He said, "Spare people your evil. That is a sadaqa which you bestow on
yourself."

An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an al-Ansari reported that he asked the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about righteousness and
sin. He said, "Righteousness is good character and sin
is what gnaws at your conscience and that which you dislike for other people to become
aware of."
