The second baab (sub-chapter, or section) of our 130 Hadeeth on Manners is about birr (kindness) and silah (keeping ties).

An-Nawwaas ibn Sim'aan asked the Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) about birr (piety) and ithm (sin). Part of the answer was: "Piety is good character..."

Being in this world like a stranger or wayfarer means to take what you need from it to reach your real destination (the Hereafter), without getting too attached to this world.

No people sit in any gathering, mentioning Allah therein, except that the angels surround them, Mercy enshrouds them, and Allah mentions them to those near Him.

Sitting in gatherings devoid of Allah's mention, where no salaat is sent upon the Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), will be a source of regret on the Day of Judgment.

According to the wording of a hadeeth we studied, the reason we are not allowed to insult the deceased is: because they can still hear us.

When Sahl ibn Sa'd asked about something that would earn him Allah's Love, the Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) told him to focus greatly on worldly matters. (Assuming the hadeeth to be authentic as Ibn Hajar graded it.)

Ibn Mas'ood asked the Prophet, "Which sin is greatest?" He replied, "To ascribe a partner to Allah when He [alone] has created you."

According to Hadeeth #2, we should look to those who have less than us, in order to be more grateful for what we have.

According to Hadeeth #1 of our study, one of the six basic rights Muslims have upon each other is to say, "al-Hamdu lillaah" when your brother/sister asks you, "Kayfa Haaluk?" (How are you?)

Pleasing Allah is attained by pleasing one's parents.

Our Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) taught us to make room for more people to sit in our gatherings.

The first sin ever committed was hasad (spiteful envy).

There is nothing heavier in the Scales (on the Day of Judgment) than good character.

When two people insult one another, the sin is on the one who started it, so long as the other one does not transgress.

Aboo Idrees al-Khowlaanee changed his posture, sitting up on his knees, when narrating the hadeeth of Aboo Tharr about the prohibition of backbiting.

All previous prophets taught their followers not to be shy. Islam cancelled this earlier ruling and required Muslims to behave with shyness.

The third section of the 130 Hadeeth on Manners is called: Baab az-Zuhd wal-Wara' (the Section on Asceticism and Vigilance); it has 11 hadeeth narrations.

Suspicion is described as "the most untruthful kind of speech" in one of the hadeeths we studied.

Allah has forbidden us from insolence (bad treatment) of our mothers.

Section Four of our book, 130 Hadeeth on Manners, contains a total of less than 30 hadeeth narrations.

A Muslim is required to give naseehah to everyone, even to Allah and His Messenger (may Allah raise his rank).

In the hadeeth we studied (which means), "A qattaat does not enter Paradise," a "qattaat" is: someone who chews a lot of tobacco.

The most important organ in the human body, religiously speaking, is the brain. If it is sound, the whole body will be sound. If it is corrupt, the whole body will be corrupt.

According to a hadeeth we studied from Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, whoever commits the sin of eavesdropping shall have hot lead poured into his ears on the Day of Judgment.
