Hadith 2

from him and recognise his advice for him. And if it does not happen to be compatible to it, there is mercy in it, and do not accuse him, and know that he did not give you advice except he was mistaken, unless he happens to be deserving of the accusation in your view, therefore do not be fed up with anything from his matters upon every situation, and there is no strength except Allah-azwj. As for a right of the elder, his right is that you dignify his age, and revere his Islam when he were to be from the people of merit in Al Islam due to his precedence in it, and neglect facing him in the dispute. Neither precede him to a road, nor lead him in a road, nor consider him ignorant and even if he is ignorant upon you. Tolerate and honour him due to a right of his Islam with his age, for it is a right of the age by worth of Al Islam, and there is no strength except with Allah-azwj. And as for a right of the young, be merciful to him, and educate him, and teach him, and pardon him, and cover upon him, and be kind with him, and give the assistance to him, and cover upon the audacity of his young age for it is a cause for the repentance, and politeness towards him, and leave from what is argumentative, for that is least for his guidance.

And as for a right of the one begged if he were to give, accept from him whatever he gives with the thanking to him, and the recognition of his merit, and seek an aspect of excuse in his refusal, and have goodly thoughts with him, and know that if he has prevented his wealth he is (himself) prevented, and that the benevolence isn’t in his wealth, and even if he were to be unjust. Surely the human being is unjust, ungrateful [14: 34]. And as for a right of the one whom Allah-azwj cheers you through him, and upon his hand, if he were to be intentional to you, praise Allah-azwj first, then thank him upon that by a measurement of the reward and reciprocate him based upon the merit of having initiated and lie in wait for him for the reciprocation. And he had not been intentional, praise Allah-azwj and thank Him-azwj and know that it was from him particularising you with it, and this is beloved if it were to be a means from the means of bounties of Allah-azwj upon you, and hope good for him after that, for the means of bounties are a Blessing wherever they may happen, and even if they were not intentional, and there is no strength except with Allah-azwj. And as for a right of the one who offends you of the decision upon his hands, either by word or deed, if he were to be in
