| About As-Salaam (218) |
`Ammăr bin Yăsir  said: "Three qualities! Whoever acquires them then he has acquired faith: the quality of exacting justice from one's self(232), and to offer As-Salăm to the world(233), and to spend [give charitable
gifts in Allah's cause] in spite of a barely sufficient sustenance [poverty]." |
| Footnotes
(232) In Dr. Nuhammad Muhsin Khan's translation of Saheeh 'Al-Bukhări this was rendered
as "To treat others as one likes to be treated by others." The Bukhări translation seems to impart some meaning to what we
have mentioned above. People usually seek to exact justice from others; however, when one seeks to exact justice from himself,
he is seeking to be juste in his dealing with others as he would like them to be when dealing with him. A person with this
quality seems likely to admit his own faults and always seeks to treat people with fairness even if it does not seem to be
in his favor. Of course such action is in his true favor because it is an act of obedience to The Creator Who has commanded
us to be juste.
(233) Meaning those that you know and those that you do not. |

'Al-`Adawee said this was reported by `Abu-Dăwood on page 381 of volume 5. He said it was sound, due to a very similar
hadeeth which was reported by Ibn As-Sunni in 'Al-Yawm was-Laylah as #245. These two are of completely different chains
and each serves as a testimonial for the other making it sound. Further testimonial is found for this hadeeth in #1011 in
'Al-'Adăb 'Al-Mufrad. |
