Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #255
Cheerfulness Towards People
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ مَوْلَى ابْنَةِ قَارِظٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا حَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَيَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَهْدَبُ الشُّفْرَيْنِ، أَبْيَضُ الْكَشْحَيْنِ، إِذَا أَقْبَلَ أَقْبَلَ جَمِيعًا، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَ، أَدْبَرَ جَمِيعًا، لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ تَرَاهُ.
Abu Hurayra said, "When he faced someone, he faced him completely.
When he turned away, he turned away completely. I have never seen anyone
like him and I will never see anyone like them."
