The Companion that Stays
It is reported that Al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr – Allāh be pleased with him – said:
The example of the son of Adam and death is that of a man who has three friends. He says to one of them: “What do you have?” [The first friend] replies, “I have your wealth, take from it what you wish, and whatever you do not take, you will no longer possess.” Then he asks the second, “What do you have?” He replies, “I will look after you, and when you die, I will bury you and then leave you.” The man then asks the third, “What do you have?” He replies, “I will be with you wherever you go.” [Al-Nuʿmān] said, “As for the first one, it is the wealth of a person: whatever he uses is his, and whatever he does not use is not. As for the second, it is a man’s family and kin: when he dies they take care of him, then they leave him. As for the third, it is a man’s actions: wherever he goes (before and after death), they go with him.”
Ibn Abī Shaybah, Al-Muṣannaf ḥadīth34723.

An exhortation about the only thing that stays with a person through life and death to help him.
Let Allāh Deal With Him / Her
A man said to Abū Ad-Dardā': Tell me a statement by which Allāh will benefit me? He said:
❝Give your honor unto Allāh. So that whoever reviles you or curses you, leave him to Allāh [to deal with].❞
[Al-Hilyah, (1/219) | Translated By Raha Batts]

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:
“For one of you to take his rope, go to a mountain, carry a bundle of wood on his back and then sell it – Allāh sufficing him with it to (save) his face – is BETTER for him than BEGGING people whether they give him or withhold.”

They Accuse Us Of Separating And Dividing
Shaykh Muhammad Nasir Uddeen Al-Albaani [رحمه الله] said:
❝Nowadays, those who criticise us by saying that you people separate and divide!
We ask them, we separate what from what?
We are callers to the Book and the Sunnah and the Manhaj of the Salaf As-Salih, so are you with us?
If he says, 'I am with you', so therefore we have not separated and divided.
If he says, 'No I'm not with you', so therefore then you are the one who has separated from us!❞

SOMEONE IN SICKNESS, HOW DOES HE FORGET TO SAY:
۞ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
"Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy." (21:83)

People would automatically stop complaining about the problems which they face in their daily lives when they start contemplating on the saying of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:
قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ، وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “A strong believer is better and dearer to Allaah than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allaah for help and do not refrain from it. If you are afflicted in any way, do not say: 'If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,' but say only:
قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ، وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Qaddar-Allaahu, wa maa shaa’ fal
‘Allaah has Decreed, and what He wills He does.' The word 'if' opens the gates of satanic thoughts". [Sunan Ibn Maajah]
In Saheeh Muslim, the wordings are:
قَدَرُ اللهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Qadar-ullaahi, wa maa shaa’ fal
'It is the Decree of Allaah, and what He wills He does.'

IF A PERSON LOVES HIS BROTHER HE SHOULD INFORM HIM OF THAT
It was narrated in the authentic hadīth that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"If a person loves his brother then he should inform him of that." *
This includes calling him with names that he loves the most. 'Umar Ibn al-Khattāb (radiyAllāhu'anhu) said: 'Three things make your brother's love (wadd) for you pure: that you greet him when you see him, that you give him space in a gathering, and that you call him with names that you love the most.'
This also includes praising him for his fine qualities that one is aware of when that influences those who are present. One should also praise his children, family, and actions. In fact, the principle applies even to his character, intellect, appearance, handwriting, authoring, and everything that causes joy as long as one does not go too far and does not speak lies.
You should also tell him if someone else has praised him and show him your happiness for that. Hiding something like this is pure jealousy.

"A MUSLIM IS THE BROTHER OF ANOTHER MUSLIM; HE DOES NOT WRONG HIM AND HE DOES NOT FORSAKE HIM." *
Whenever a person neglects defending the honor of his brother, he has forsaken him. To estimate the situation, consider it from two angles:
Firstly, assume that what is being said about him would be said about you in his presence-then say what you would like him to say.
Secondly, assume that he is listening behind the wall-whatever your heart (qalb) would tell you to say in his defense in his presence, it should tell you the same in his absence. If one is not sincere (muklis) in his brotherhood, he is a hypocrite.

📝 Is Black a Must⁉️
Many women choose to wear black, not because it is obligatory, but because it is farthest removed from being an adornment.
There are reports which indicate that the women of the Sahaabah used to wear black. Abu Dawood narrated that Umm Salamah said:
“When the words ‘and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)’ [al-Noor 24:31 – interpretation of the meaning] were revealed, the women of the Ansaar went out looking as if there were crows on their heads because of their garments.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood (4101)
The Standing Committee (17/110) said: This is to be understood as meaning that those clothes were black in colour.

Your Interaction With Allaah
So, good manners in one's interactions with Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic with regards to the prayer include: offering them while the heart is tranquil and relaxed, being content and pleased within the prayer, and eagerly awaiting the time of the next prayer. Once you have prayed the Fajr (pre-dawn) Prayer, you look forward to Thuhr (noon) prayer. Once you have prayed Thuhr (noon) Prayer, you look forward to 'Asr (afternoon) Prayer. Once you have prayed 'Asr Prayer, you look forward to Maghrib (post-sunset) Prayer. Once you have prayed Maghrib Prayer, you look forward to 'Eshaa' (night) Prayer. Once you have prayed 'Eshaa' Prayer, you look forward to Fajr (pre-dawn) Prayer.
So let your heart become attached to these prayers, as this is certainly a way to have good manners in your interaction with Allaah, the Exalted.
