عنه) said:“I served the
Messenger of Allah when he was at home and on journeys from the time he came to

repeat what he said.

he breaks it; (3) whenever he makes a covenant he proves treacherous; (4) and
whenever he quarrels, he behaves impudently in an evil insulting manner.”(Sahih
Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
