Sahih Muslim 2553b (Book 45, Hadith 17) #13595
Virtue & Vice in Migration

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the definition of virtue and vice, and how one should not ask too many questions when migrating to Medina.

Nawwas b. Sam'an reported: I stayed with Allah's Messenger for one year. What obstructed me to migrate was (nothing) but (persistent) inquiries from him (about Islam). (It was a common observation) that when anyone of us migrated (to Medina) he ceased to ask (too many questions) from Allah's Messenger . So I asked him about virtue and vice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your mind and that you disapprove of its being known to the people.
حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ نَوَّاسِ بْنِ سِمْعَانَ، قَالَ أَقَمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَنَةً مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ إِلاَّ الْمَسْأَلَةُ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا هَاجَرَ لَمْ يَسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنْ شَىْءٍ - قَالَ - فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالإِثْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of virtue and vice as defined by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Virtue is a kind disposition, which means being generous, compassionate, and kind to others. Vice is what rankles in your mind and that you disapprove of its being known to the people; this means doing something wrong or immoral that you would not want anyone else to know about it. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us that when we migrate somewhere new we should not ask too many questions from those around us as it can be seen as intrusive or disrespectful.

The values taught in this hadith are kindness, respectfulness, morality, righteousness and humility. We learn from this hadith that we should always strive for righteousness in our actions while avoiding wickedness at all costs; even if no one else knows about it but ourselves! We must also remember to be respectful towards those around us by not asking too many questions when migrating somewhere new.
