Riyad as-Salihin 1530 (Book 17, Hadith 20) #38019
Appreciating Good Character

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Ka'b bin Malik and how he was detained due to his embellishment of his cloak. Mu'adh bin Jabal defended him by saying that they only knew good about him.

Ka'b bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said in his long story about his repentance: The Prophet was sitting among the people in Tabuk. He said, "What happened to Ka'b bin Malik?" A person from the tribe of Banu Salamah said: "O Messenger of Allah! the embellishment of his cloak and an appreciation of his sides have allured him, and he was thus detained". Mu'adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "Woe be upon you! You have passed indecent remarks. O Messenger of Allah! by Allah, we know nothing about him but good". The Messenger of Allah remained silent. Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن كعب بن مالك رضي الله عنه في حديثه الطويل في قصة توبته وقد سبق في بابه التوبة‏.‏ قال‏:‏ قال النبي وهو جالس في القوم بتبوك‏:‏ ‏"‏ما فعل كعب مالك‏؟‏ فقال رجل من بني سلمة‏:‏ يا رسول الله حبسه برداه، والنظر في عطفيه فقال معاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه بئس ما قلت والله يا رسول الله ما علمنا عليه إلا خيرًا، فسكت رسول الله ‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ "عِطْفَاهُ"جانِباهُ، وهو إشارةٌ إلى إعجابِهِ بنفسهِ.

QUICK LESSONS:
Appreciate people for their good character instead of judging them based on their appearance or possessions; defend those who are wrongfully accused without any proof or evidence against them; do not pass indecent remarks on others; respect other people's opinions even if you disagree with them; show kindness towards everyone regardless of their background or beliefs.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of appreciating good character. Ka’b bin Malik was detained due to the embellishment of his cloak, but Mu’adh bin Jabal defended him by saying that they only knew good about him. This shows us that we should always appreciate people for their good character, rather than judging them based on their appearance or possessions. We should also be careful not to pass indecent remarks on others, as this can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Furthermore, it teaches us the importance of defending those who are being wrongfully accused or judged in a negative light without any proof or evidence against them.
