people into error. For this reason, believers make every effort to
speak to one another as positively as possible so that satan will not
have the occasion or the conditions to interfere. Such an attitude
will be the means by which they will increase their bond of friend-

commanded believers always to practice high conduct and to
speak positively:

"Do not envy one another; do not hate one another; do not turn
away from another; and do not undercut one another, but be
you, O servants of Allah, brothers." (Muslim)
"Greeting a person is charity. Acting justly is charity. A good
word is charity." (Bukhari and Muslim)

"There is nothing heavier in the scales than good character."
(Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud)
