SIGNS OF GOOD CHARACTER
From the signs of a person's good manners in his dealings with the people is that he is someone easy to be around. His friends and relatives do not find it difficult to deal with him, nor does he make things hard on them. Instead, he brings happiness to their hearts as much as he can, within the confines of Allaah's legislation. This is a limit that must be observed, since there are some people who will not be pleased except with disobedience to Allaah, and Allaah's refuge is sought. It is not befitting that we oblige such people. However, to bring happiness to the people in your life, your friends and relatives, within the confines of the Islaamic Legislation is indeed good character.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"The best of you are the best to his family, and I am the best of you to my family."*
* Jaami at-Tirmidhi (3895); Sunan Ibn Majah (1977); Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan (4186). (...)
