Good manners (adab) is a wide-ranging topic in Islam and includes behaviour such as greetings, gracious speech, not backbiting nor insulting, and lowering the gaze towards non-mahrams. It is also commonly said to include rituals such as wudu (ablution), and some bodily practices mentioned in a hadith such as circumcision and hair trimming.
 
==Quran==
===Repel evil with good===
{{Quote|{{Quran|41|34}}|And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.}}
 
===Controlling anger===
{{Quote|{{Quran|3|134}}|Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good;}}
 
===Greeting guests===
{{Quote|{{Quran|51|25}}|When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.}}
 
===Leniency===
{{Quote|{{Quran|3|159}}|So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].}}
 
===Gossip===
{{Quote|{{Quran-range|68|10|11}}|And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -}}
 
===Negative assumptions, spying and backbiting===
{{Quote|{{Quran|49|12}}|O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.}}
 
===Insulting===
{{Quote|{{Quran|6|108}}|And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.}}
 
{{Quote|{{Quran|49|11}}|O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.}}
 
===Lowering the gaze and modesty===
{{Quote|{{Quran|24|30|31}}|Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.}}
 
===Kindness and gracious words to parents===
{{Quote|{{Quran|17|23}}|Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.}}
 
===Ablutions before prayer (wudu)===
{{Quote|{{Quran|5|6}}|O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.}}
 
==Hadiths==
===Kindness to family and parents===
{{Quote|{{Al Tirmidhi||5|38|2612}}|Narrated 'Aishah:

The best of' the deeds or deed is the (observance of) prayer at its proper time and kindness to the parents.}}
 
===Circumcision, trimming the pubic region, nails and moustache, and plucking armpits===
{{Quote|{{Muslim|2|495}}|Abu Huraira reported:
 
Five are the acts quite akin to the Fitra, or five are the acts of Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, plucking the hair under the armpits and clipping the moustache}}
 
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|72|777}}|Narrated Abu Huraira:

{{Quote|{{Muslim|32|6311}}|Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
 
Whom do you count as" Raqub" amongst you? They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: He is not a Raqub but Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He then said: Whom do you count as a wrestler amongst you?

Umm Aban, daughter of al-Wazi' ibn Zari', quoting his grandfather, who was a member of the deputation of AbdulQays, said: When we came to Medina, we raced to be first to dismount and kiss the hand and foot of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). But al-Mundhir al-Ashajj waited until he came to the bundle of his clothes. He put on his two garments and then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said to him: You have two characteristics which Allah likes: gentleness and deliberation. He asked: Have I acquired them or has Allah has created (them) my nature? He replied: No, Allah has created (them) in your nature. He then said: Praise be to Allah Who has created in my nature two characteristics which Allah and His Apostle like.}}
 
===Humility===
{{Quote|{{Muslim|32|6242}}|Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
 
Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives Allah adds to his respect, and the one who shows humility Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people).}}
 
{{Quote|{{Muslim|42|7116}}|Jundub reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
 
He who wants to publicise (his deeds), Allah will publicise (his humility), and he who makes a hypocritical display (of his deeds), Allah will make a display of him.}}

{{Quote|{{Ibn Majah|1|1|347}}|It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:
 
"The Messenger of Allah passed by two new graves, and he said: 'They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything major. One of them was heedless about preventing urine from getting on his clothes, and the other used to walk about spreading malicious gossip.'"}}
 
{{Quote|{{Muwatta|56|20}}|Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah is pleased with three things from you, and He is angry with three things from you. He is pleased that you worship Him and do not associate anything with Him, and that you take hold of the rope of Allah altogether, and that you give good counsel to the one to whom Allah gives command over you. He is angry with you for gossip, squandering property, and asking too many questions."}}
 
===Glancing at a non-mahram===
{{Quote|{{Muslim|25|5372}}|Jarir b. 'Abdullah reported:

"Indeed among the worst of people to Allah, on the Day of Judgment, is the two faced person."}}
 
===Vanity===
{{Quote|{{Ibn Majah|4|32|3607}}|
 
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said:
 
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever wears a garment of pride and vanity in this world, Allah will clothe him in a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection, then set it ablaze.’”}}

When any one of you intends to eat (meal), he should eat with his right hand. and when he (intends) to drink he should drink with his right hand, for the Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.}}

{{Quote|{{Al Tirmidhi||4|25|2034}}|Jabir narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:
 
"Whoever is given a gift, then if he finds something let him reciprocate. If he has nothing, then let him mention some praise. For whoever has mentioned some praise, then he has expressed his gratitude. And whoever refrains (from doing so) then he has committed Kufr. And whoever pretends to be satisfied by that which he was not given, he is like the one who wears a garment of falsehood."}}
