Islamic ethics


Jareer ibn Abdullah, Radi-Allahu anhu,

once sent his servant for buying a horse.
The servant made a deal for three hundred dirhams and brought the seller with him so he could be paid.

Jareer ibn Abdullah, Radi-Allahu anhu,
looked at the horse and realized that the seller had undervalued it.

"Would you sell it for four hundred?" he asked.

The seller agreed.

"How about five hundred?"

he continued his unusual "bargaining" and finally bought the horse for eight hundred dirhams.

He was later asked why he did so.

"The seller was not aware of the true value of this horse, " he explained.

"I have simply given him a fair price because I had promised to Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to always be sincere and well-wisher for every Muslim

Why just to fellow Muslims?

A good person tries to be sincere and well-wisher to everyone.

the main sources of islam are two sources,

the first source is the Quran and that is the saying of Allah
the second source is the Hadith and that is the saying of his messenger Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).

what you say is true in general and that is mentioned in the Quran in details
Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion,
and have not driven you forth from your homes,
that you show them kindness and deal with them justly;
surely Allah loves the doers of justice. The Noble Quran.
