What It Means: Reading in Context
The Prophet addresses Ashajj of the tribe of Abdul Qais. This sentence appears as an addition within a longer report about the delegation. “You” refers to Ashajj. The English preserves the linked translation’s rendering of the two qualities. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 17c. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
