The Shaykh : "Chapter on Good Character When They Are Learned in Religion": Good character, jurisprudence, and understanding in the religion possess these virtues that you will hear in the following hadiths. The first hadith is authentic. It is from the narration of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A man who is known for his good character has the same degree as someone who stands at night in prayer. إن الرجل لَيُدرك بحسن خلقه درجة القائم بالليل
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14:26
. This hadith, as we have read, is a path for the Muslim to adopt good character, which leads him to the rank and degree of the man who stands in prayer at night. In some other hadiths:
and the one who fasts in the day والصائم بالنهار
.
A man who is known for his good character has the same degree as someone who stands at night in prayer. إن الرجل لَيُدرك بحسن خلقه درجة القائم بالليل
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14:26
, and in some authentic hadiths it was added:
and the one who fasts in the day والصائم بالنهار
. This is an explicit text that if a Muslim improves his character, he reaches the stage of the worshippers, even if he is not in the rank of those worshippers in his own worship. That is, if a Muslim who observes the obligatory duties and avoids the forbidden things improves his treatment and character with his family, his children, his neighbors, and everyone he interacts with, he reaches, by his good character, the rank of that worshipper who stands in prayer at night and fasts by day. Therefore, nothing is better than for the Muslim man and the Muslim woman to improve their character so that they attain the degree of the worshippers who stand in prayer at night and fast by day. However, as we hinted in our commentary on the chapter, it is a condition that he be learned in his religion. This condition, which the author placed in his saying, "Chapter on Good Character When They Are Learned in Religion," he took from the second hadith.
