Extract

Muslims possess a great wealth in manners and styles manifested in the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the lives of his companions. This book will enable us to gain insightful glimpses to his personality and manners. It has been composed by selecting important texts of great magnitude and essence. 

The ahadith cited in this book are either sahih (authentic) or hasan (good). This book has been written mainly for the many Muslim brothers and sisters who disregard these manners and misinterpret them. In compiling it, I hope to remind them of these manners. I do not claim to be better or less in need of practising these manners; but it is the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil and observing the order of Allah: "And remind [them] for a reminder benefits the believers." 

May Allah enable all of us to benefit from good reminders and make this of benefit to my readers and myself. May Allah protect us and be our guide in this life and in the Hereafter.
