Imaam Hasan radiyallahu anhu says, “I asked my (maternal) uncle Hind ibn Abi Haalah, who always described the noble features of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam to describe to me the manner in which Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam spoke. He replied that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was always worried (about the hereafter). And always busy thinking (about the attributes of Allah and the betterment of the Ummah). Because of these things he was never free from thought and never rested (or because of worldly affairs he did not gain rest, but gained rest and contentment from religious well being. It is mentioned in the hadith that the coolness of my eyes is in salaah). He always spoke clearly from beginning to end. (He did not speak in a manner where only half sentences are spoken and the other half remained in the mind of the speaker, as is prevalent among snobbish high-minded and proud people). He spoke concisely, where the words are less and meaning more. (Mulla Ali Qaari has collected forty such ahaadith in his commentary which are very short). Every word was clearer than the previous one. There was no nonsensical talk, nor was there half-talks’ where the meaning was not complete and could not be grasped. He was not short-tempered, nor did he disgrace anyone. He always greatly appreciated the blessings of Allah even though it might be very minute, he did not criticize it.
He did not criticize food, nor over-praised it (The reason for not criticizing food is clear, that it is a blessing from Allah. The reason for not praising it is because it might be felt that one is gluttonous. Nevertheless, he praised food if it was to make someone happy, and sometimes praised some special things). He was never angered for anything materialistic. (The reason being that he did not pay much attention, and did not care much about materialistic things).
If someone exceeded the limits in religious matters or against the truth, he became so angry that no one could endure it, nor could anybody stop it till he avenged it. If for some reason he made a gesture or pointed at something, he did it with a full hand. (The ulama say the reason being that it is against humbleness to point with one finger only. Some ulama say it was his noble habit to signal oneness of Allah with one finger, therefore he did not signal anyone in that manner). When he was surprised by something he turned his hands, and when he spoke sometimes while talking, he moved his hands, he sometimes hit the palm of his right hand with the inside part of his left thumb. When he became angry with someone, he turned his face away from that person, and did not pay attention to that person or he forgave that person. When he was happy due to humility it seemed as if he had closed his eyes. The laugh of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was mostly a smile, at that moment his mubarak front teeth glittered like white shining hailstone.
Commentary
Every sentence of it should be read carefully and one should try to emulate them as much as possible. Every action of Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam is complete in humbleness and etiquette. Sayyidina Hind ibn Abi Haalah radiyallahu anhu is a step brother of Sayyiditina Faatimah radiyallahu anha.

Spit on your smartphone for diagnosis
Spit onto your iPhone touch screen and find out exactly why you are sick.
A self-diagnosis cellphone application could become a reality if two Korean researchers have their way. Research assistant professor Hyun Gyu Park from the department of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology said: "I am trying to make this system to be realised as soon as possible."
Last month, Park and his colleague Byoung Yeon Won published a research paper titled "A touch screen as a biomolecule detection platform" in the international edition of the German chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie.
Touch screens are highly sensitive to even the slightest fingertip movement. With the right programming, they could soon become advanced enough to detect the differences between bacteria-free saliva and saliva from a sick person when a tiny drop of it is placed on the screen.
Head of nanotechnology at Mintek, South Africa's mineral research organisation, Dr Robert Tshikhudo, said that "anything is possible; self-diagnosis is the future".
"Lab-on-chip technologies are already on the market. What is critical is to make it work with the smart- phones," he said.

HOLIDAYS AND ITS HIDDEN DANGERS – ML EBRAHIM BHAM
In this time of holidays and festivity, there’s a negative impact on our attitude towards the Commands of Allah Ta’aala and Sunnah of our leader Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. Ml Bham explains that, during this period, we’re more prone to negligence and a sense of being ‘free’. This type of attitude and environment can lead to us being indifferent to our Creator and shaytaan seizing the opportunity to make us do things that normally we wouldn’t do in other times of the year…

Ons het ook al die Dagstukkies wat ons nou al uitgestuur het saam op een bladsy gesit, juis vir jou gerief. As ek dus 'n Dagstukkie uitstuur en jy voel dis nou nie vandag vir jou bedoel nie, dan kan jy sommer maklik vir jouself al die Dagstukkie-opskrifte gaan deurkyk totdat jy een vind wat jou hart aanraak. Of as iets gebeur wat jou so bietjie van balans af gooi: besoek die Dagstukkies! Jy weet nooit, dalk wil Allah jou juis deur 'n besondere Dagstukkie bemoedig.
E-pos ons by sjbekker@vodamail.co.za as jy die Dagstukkies op jou rekenaar wil ontvang..."
Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two cups of coffee. Then they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and told them...
"You can't eat your own sandwiches in here!"
The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and...
exchanged sandwiches.
