Respect for Father

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) once saw two men. He asked one of them, 

‘How is this man related to you’? 

He replied, ‘My father.’

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) then said [advising him on how to respect one’s father], 

‘Do not call him by his name, do not walk ahead of him and do not sit down before him.’

(Al Adabul Mufrad, Hadith: 44)

Food & Drink

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) reports that Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) never blew into his food and drinks and never breathed into utensils.

(Ibn Majah)

An Invitation to a special meal

Sayyiduna Anas رضي الله عنه reported that:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a Persian neighbour who made excellent soup. He prepared some for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then came to him to invite him to eat. He (Allah's Messenger) said, "and her too," referring to `Aisha رضي الله عنها. 

The man said "No," so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said "No." 

He returned later to invite him again, so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said "and her too." The man said "No," so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said "No." 

He returned another time to invite him and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "and her too." The man said yes on this third occasion, and they then stood eagerly to go out together to the man's home.

(Muslim 2036)

Al-Nawawi رحمه الله تعالى said,

“The Prophet disliked attending a special meal without her, for this is among the beauties of married life, the rights of companionship, and the emphasized manners of gathering.”

(Sharḥ al-Nawawī ‘alá Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2036)

Fast Monday & Thursday

Sayyidatuna Aisha رضي الله عنها reported: 

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was eager to fast on Monday and Thursday.
