Sunan Abi Dawud 4836 (Book 43, Hadith 64) #25127
Praising Good Character

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ praised a man for his good character and loyalty.

Narrated As-Sa'ib: I came to the Prophet . The people began to praise me and make a mention of me. The Messenger of Allah said: I know you, that is, he knew him. I said: My father and mother be sacrificed for you! you were my partner and how good a partner ; you neither disputed nor quarrelled.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ قَائِدِ السَّائِبِ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَجَعَلُوا يُثْنُونَ عَلَىَّ وَيَذْكُرُونِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي بِهِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي كُنْتَ شَرِيكِي فَنِعْمَ الشَّرِيكُ كُنْتَ لاَ تُدَارِي وَلاَ تُمَارِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of having good character and loyalty. It was narrated by As-Sa'ib, who came to the Prophet (ﷺ). The people began to praise him and make a mention of him, but the Prophet already knew him. As-Sa'ib then expressed his loyalty to the Prophet by saying "My father and mother be sacrificed for you! you were my partner and how good a partner; you neither disputed nor quarrelled." This shows that it is important to have good character in order to gain respect from others, as well as being loyal in relationships. It also teaches us that we should not dispute or quarrel with our partners or friends, but instead show them respect and kindness.
