Etiquette and Morals of Companionship
About This Book
Etiquette and Morals of Companionship is a classic work by Imam Abu Abdul Rahman al-Sulami al-Naysaburi (330-412 AH) on how a Muslim should treat the people he keeps company with.
Friends are the one relationship a person chooses for himself. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that a person follows the religion of his close friend, so each of us should look carefully at whom we befriend. That makes the ethics of friendship a matter with real consequences, not just politeness.
Al-Sulami covers how a companionship should be formed and on what basis, the rights a friend has, keeping confidences, overlooking faults and knowing when overlooking goes too far, correcting a friend without humiliating him, loyalty in his absence, and how to end a companionship when it has to end.
